Many families have more children than devices. With a little planning, lessons run smoothly.
Option 1: back-to-back on one device
| Time | What |
|---|---|
| 5:00–5:30 | Child 1 lesson (younger child first, while fresh) |
| 5:30–5:40 | Changeover: Child 2 sits down, headphones on, book open |
| 5:40–6:10 | Child 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.
