A parent asks

My two children have Quran lessons but we only have one laptop. How do we manage?

Bloomtivo answers

Schedule the lessons back to back with a 10-minute gap, or use a tablet or phone for the second child. Each child should have their own lesson in a separate quiet space, with headphones. Prepare both children’s books before the first lesson starts, so the changeover takes two minutes, not ten.

The full answer

Many families have more children than devices. With a little planning, lessons run smoothly.

Option 1: back-to-back on one device

TimeWhat
5:00–5:30Child 1 lesson (younger child first, while fresh)
5:30–5:40Changeover: Child 2 sits down, headphones on, book open
5:40–6:10Child 2 lesson

Lessons run 7 days a week at UK-friendly times, so it is usually possible to find two slots close together. During the waiting time, the other child does home practice.

Option 2: two devices at once

  • A tablet or phone works for the second child; see which device is best.
  • Use separate rooms, or opposite ends of a room, so they do not hear each other.
  • Headphones for both are essential.
  • Check the Wi-Fi can handle two video calls; see slow internet tips.

The changeover checklist

  • Both children’s Qaida or Mushaf ready before the first lesson.
  • Second child has had a snack and a toilet break.
  • Charger plugged in.
  • Lesson links saved on the device.

Keep lessons separate

Each child should have their own 1-to-1 lesson, so the teacher can focus fully on their level.

Teacher’s tip: the child who is waiting can quietly listen to their surah with earphones. Waiting time becomes revision time.
