Learn Quran reading, Tajweed, and Islamic studies from home with qualified male and female teachers in private, live 1-on-1 sessions.
Alkosar Online Quran Academy was established in 2015 to give Shia Muslim families a reliable, accessible way to learn the Quran from home — without needing a local teacher or Islamic centre nearby.
We offer live, private 1-on-1 lessons for children and adults at every level — from the very first Arabic letter to advanced Tajweed, Hifz, Tafseer, and Ja'fari Fiqh. All teaching is rooted in the traditions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) and the Ahlulbayt (A.S.). Classes are conducted over video call, making it possible for Shia families in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and beyond to study on a schedule that works for them.
You do not need to guess your level. In a free trial class, your teacher listens and recommends exactly where to start — whether that is Yassarnal Quran, Tajweed correction, or a subject like Quran translation or Nahjul Balaghah.

Patient, child-friendly instruction designed to help young students enjoy learning the Quran.
Children start with Yassarnal Quran or Basic Qaidah to build letter recognition and correct sound articulation. Once letters are mastered, they transition into reading words, short Surahs, and practical Shia prayer steps. Our teachers use encouragement, gentle repetition, and manageable lesson chunks suited to young attention spans.
Private, comfortable 1-on-1 lessons for adult beginners, working professionals, and parents.
Whether you are an adult starting from the very first Arabic letter, an intermediate reader who wants to correct Tajweed mistakes, or someone wishing to study Ja'fari Fiqh, Translation, or Nahjul Balaghah, our classes provide complete privacy. There is no embarrassment and no rush — only steady personal instruction at your own pace.
Every student is matched with a teacher who fits their gender preference, learning level, course subject, and preferred language of instruction — whether English or Urdu.
Dedicated female teachers are available for sisters, teenage girls, and younger children. Lessons take place in a private, modest online environment with patient instruction in English or Urdu.
Qualified male teachers and Qaris offer instruction for brothers, teenage boys, and advanced students in Tajweed, Hifz, Tafseer, and Nahjul Balaghah with clear, structured guidance.
Getting started is straightforward. No software installation is needed — only a device, internet connection, and headphones.

After the trial, the teacher recommends a starting point. You choose how many days per week — typically 3 to 5 — and confirm timings that suit your school or work routine.
Each student follows a structured lesson plan suited to their pace. Beginners progress from letters to words to Quran reading; advanced students deepen Tajweed, memorization or Islamic studies.
