Online Quran Classes in Florida

Online Quran Classes in Florida: One State, Two Time Zones

Most of Florida is on Eastern Time. That includes Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Tallahassee. But the western part of the Panhandle is on Central Time, 1 hour behind. Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach and Panama City all use Central Time.

This matters when you book. A 5:00 pm class in Orlando is 4:00 pm in Pensacola. Say grandparents in Pensacola want to sit in on a grandchild's class in Tampa. The clock can get confusing fast. So we always book your class in your own local time. Tell us your city, and we do the rest.

We handle daylight saving too. Your class stays at the same local time all year, in both parts of the state.

Classes for Florida Kids

Kids as young as 4 can start. The first step is Noorani Qaida, a small book for the Arabic letters and sounds. Next comes reading the Quran with Tajweed, the rules for saying each letter the right way. Some children later move on to Hifz, learning the Quran by heart.

Each class is 30 minutes, one-on-one, with the same teacher each week. Your child never waits for other students to take a turn. The teacher keeps the lesson short and lively, with lots of reading out loud and quick praise.

Lots of Florida kids have sports or swim practice after school. A class at 7:30 pm after dinner, or on a weekend morning, keeps Quran in the week without a clash. If practice moves, tell us before class. We find a new time in the same month.

Parents can sit in on any class. After each lesson you get a short note. Each month you get a written report on how your child is doing.

Courses

Every course is live and private. Pick one to start, or ask your teacher to split the class between two.

Not sure which course to pick? The teacher checks the student's level in the free trial and suggests one.

These are the main choices:

• Noorani Qaida: the starting point for any new reader, young or old.
• Quran Reading with Tajweed: read with ease and say each letter clearly.
• Memorize Quran Online: Hifz with a daily new lesson and a review plan.
• Daily Supplications: short duas for each part of the day, with their meaning.
• Arabic Language: the words and grammar of the Quran, from the very start.

Summer Break and Ramadan Schedules

When school ends for the summer, kids have more free time. You can add classes for those weeks, or move class to the morning. Just give us 1 week's notice. When school starts again, switch back. Summer is also a good time to start a second subject, like Daily Supplications, next to your reading class.

Going away on a trip? Pause with 1 week's notice. You do not pay for paused weeks.

In Ramadan, we plan new times around iftar, the meal at sunset, and taraweeh, the night prayer. You can also take class before suhoor, the meal before dawn. Tell us the times you want in your own time zone.

Storm season can bring power or internet cuts. If you know you will miss class, tell us before it starts. We move it to another time in the same month.

What You Need for Class

There is nothing to buy. The teacher shows the Qaida or Quran page on screen and sends you the class link before the first lesson. Here is all you need:

• A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera and a microphone.
• Steady internet. If it drops often, sit close to the router.
• A quiet spot away from the TV, where the student can read aloud.
• For older students, a pair of reading glasses or a bigger screen if small letters are hard to see.
