My child already goes to a local madrasah. Should they also have online lessons?

Question

It depends on the gap. Online 1-to-1 lessons work well alongside a madrasah when your child needs more individual correction (especially Tajweed), extra Hifz revision, Arabic or a subject the madrasah does not cover. If your child already has a full timetable and is progressing well, extra lessons may be too much. Many UK children attend an evening or weekend madrasah. Online lessons can complement it, but only when they fill a real gap.When online lessons helpSituationHow online helpsLarge class, little individual time1-to-1 lessons focus on your child’s exact mistakesPronunciation or Tajweed needs workA teacher listens to every letterHifz is slippingExtra revision sessionsMadrasah does not teach Arabic or TafseerAdd Arabic or TafseerMadrasah is closed for the holidaysKeeps learning goingWhen it may be too muchYour child already has madrasah 4 or 5 evenings a week.They are tired, irritable or falling behind at school.They are progressing well and enjoying the madrasah.Avoid clashesUse the same Mushaf edition and, if possible, the same Qaida.Tell the online teacher what the madrasah is covering.Do not have two teachers teach new Hifz at once; one leads new memorisation, the other focuses on revision or Tajweed.Teacher’s tip: start with one 30-minute online lesson a week with a clear focus, such as Tajweed. Add more only if your child copes well.Read our comparison of online classes and the local madrasa.
