Online Quran classes in France
One-to-one live Quran classes for French families — Noorani Qaida, Tajweed, Hifz, Tafseer, Islamic studies and Arabic, taught by certified male and female teachers in CET in winter, CEST in summer (UTC+1 / UTC+2).
French families have a standing advantage: Wednesday afternoons are free in most primary schools, and it is by far our most requested slot for children in France. Older students take evening classes after collège or lycée.

Questions from French families
Are Wednesday afternoon classes available?
Yes, and they are our most popular slot for French children, since most primary schools are closed on Wednesday afternoons. Book early — those slots fill first each term.
Do you teach Arabic as a language as well as Quran?
Yes. Alongside Quran recitation we teach classical and conversational Arabic — grammar, morphology and vocabulary — which many French families take together with Quran classes.
Can adults take classes after work?
Yes. Adult students in France usually take 7pm to 9:30pm slots, and classes are private, so beginning as an adult is completely normal here.
