Online Quran Classes in Ottawa

Online Quran Classes for Ottawa and Gatineau Families

Ottawa sits on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River. Gatineau sits on the Quebec side. Many families live in one province and work or study in the other. Two provinces can also mean two school calendars, and a bridge to cross for every class.

Online lessons take the map out of it. Both cities use Eastern time, so one class time works on both sides of the river. A child in Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans or Gatineau gets the same private lesson from home.

Each lesson is 30 minutes, live and one-to-one. Your child keeps the same tutor from week to week. The tutor knows where your child is up to and what comes next. Nobody waits for a turn, because there is no group.

Lessons in English, Arabic or Urdu

Ottawa is a bilingual city, and many children go to French school. So we want to be clear. Our tutors teach in English, Arabic or Urdu. We do not teach in French.

For most students this works well. The Quran is read in Arabic, so the reading itself is the same for everyone. The tutor explains each rule in simple English. If your family speaks Arabic or Urdu at home, ask for a tutor who can explain in that language too.

Not sure if English will work for your child? Use the free trial to find out. After 30 minutes you will know whether your child follows the tutor with ease.

Female Quran Teacher in Ottawa

Many families ask for a female teacher. It may be for a daughter, for a mother who wants to learn with her children, or for a sister who feels more at ease reciting to a woman. Our female tutors have the same training as our male tutors. They teach every course, from the first letters to Hifz.

To ask for one, choose a female tutor on the trial form, and tell us the times you need. The fee is the same as with a male tutor.

Some families book a female tutor for the girls and a male tutor for the boys. Each child has their own class and their own teacher, at times that suit the family.

Courses Ottawa Students Take

You can take any Salam Campus course from Ottawa. All of them are one-to-one. A student can move from one course to the next with the same tutor and no gap. Many children take 2 subjects in one plan, and the tutor splits the class time.

These are the courses Ottawa families can choose from:

• Noorani Qaida: the first step for any new reader, child or adult
• Quran Reading with Tajweed: read the whole Quran smoothly and correctly
• Hifz: learn the Quran by heart with daily new work and review
• Islamic Studies for Kids: faith, good manners and the stories of the Prophets
• Prayer Lessons: wudu and Salah, word by word
• Arabic and Tafsir: for older students who want to know what they recite

Winter: No Bus, No Drive

Ottawa winters are long and cold. Snow can slow the buses and close roads. On those nights, a trip across town for a Quran class is hard, and a lesson is easily lost. Over a whole winter, that adds up.

An online class does not depend on the weather. If the power and internet are on, the lesson goes ahead. Your child stays warm at home and keeps the habit going all winter. The same is true in the summer holidays, when routines often slip.

On days when school buses are cancelled for snow, children are often home all day. A short Quran class gives that day some shape. Tell us before the class, and we can move it to the morning.

If you do need to miss a class, tell us first. We move it to another time in the same month.
