Long summer trips to visit family can mean weeks without lessons. Online learning makes it possible to keep going.
Time differences (UK summer time)
| Country | Ahead of the UK | UK 4 pm lesson is… |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | 4 hours | 8 pm local |
| Bangladesh | 5 hours | 9 pm local |
| Saudi Arabia | 2 hours | 6 pm local |
| Turkey | 2 hours | 6 pm local |
In UK winter (after the clocks go back), each difference is one hour more.
Before you travel
- Tell the academy your travel dates and destination.
- Agree a lesson time that suits the local time there.
- Test the internet at your destination if you can, or plan to use mobile data.
- Pack: headphones, charger, Mushaf or Qaida, and a plug adaptor.
While away
- Choose a quiet room away from family gatherings for lesson time.
- Keep the lighter routine: revision first.
- Let your child recite to grandparents or relatives; it is wonderful practice.
If lessons cannot continue
Keep 10 minutes of daily revision, and plan a restart when you are back. See restarting after a break.
Teacher’s tip: many children visiting family abroad hear the adhan all day. Use it: practise responding to the adhan together.
