Our Story
LQO was founded in 2008 by Ali Rao with a simple aim: to give Muslim families living far from a qualified Quran teacher a real teacher at home, who listens to every letter and corrects it kindly.
From one-to-one Qaida lessons, the academy grew into seven courses, from first letters to Hifz and Tafseer, taught by a team that teaches from Pakistan to students across North America and Britain.
What We Teach
We teach Noorani Qaida, Quran reading, Tajweed, Hifz, translation, Tafseer and Islamic studies, to children, adults, sisters and new Muslims.
We do not teach Arabic language courses, Ijazah programmes or the ten Qiraat. We would rather do a few things well and say so plainly.


Our Teachers
Our teachers are Pakistani and hold an Ijazah in Quran recitation. They explain lessons in English and recite in Arabic, and most have taught the Quran for more than 10 years.
We have qualified, experienced male and female teachers, so families can choose who teaches each member of the household. Our teachers page introduces them in more detail.
How We Teach
Every class follows the same simple cycle, refined over years of teaching one student at a time.
01
The teacher recites the line first, clearly and slowly, with correct Tajweed.
02
The student repeats it, and each letter and vowel is corrected straight away.
03
Weak points are drilled until they hold, before any new material is added.
04
The next class opens by hearing the homework back, so nothing is left behind.
Values
Four values shape how we teach and how we deal with families.
Sincerity: teaching the Quran for the sake of Allah, not only as a business.
Excellence: correcting carefully, preparing properly and never rushing a student.
Trust: honesty about prices, timings and what each course can and cannot do.
Patience: with young children, slow readers and adults starting late in life.
