Arabic 
- Compare providers by price per lesson, and check the lesson length.
- Price depends on format (one-on-one or group), teacher qualifications and number of lessons.
- Always ask about the trial lesson, rescheduling and what happens if you cancel.
- At Arabic Dose, one-on-one 60-minute lessons range from $12.90 to $16 per session depending on the package.
What affects the price
- Format: one-on-one costs more per lesson than group classes, because the teacher's time is not shared.
- Teacher qualifications: an Ijazah-holding teacher with formal training is not the same as a volunteer or student tutor.
- Lesson length and frequency: a 60-minute lesson costs more than a 30-minute one, so compare per minute as well.
- Package size: more lessons per month usually lowers the price per lesson.
- Subject: check whether Tajweed, memorisation or Arabic cost extra.
How to compare providers fairly
- Divide the monthly price by the number of lessons to get the price per lesson.
- Check the length of each lesson.
- Check whether it is one-on-one or group.
- Ask about the teacher's qualifications.
- Ask about rescheduling, cancellation and refunds.
A low price per lesson is not a bargain if the lesson is short, shared or taught by someone unqualified.
A worked example: Arabic Dose packages
Our lessons are one-on-one, 60 minutes, with an Al-Azhar certified teacher, and can be rescheduled with 24 hours' notice. Prices are in US dollars, so your bank will convert them if you pay in pounds or euros.
| Package | Monthly price | Per session | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 sessions / month | $64 | $16 | $768 |
| 6 sessions / month | $84 | $14 | $1,008 |
| 8 sessions / month | $104 | $13 | $1,248 |
| 10 sessions / month | $129 | $12.90 | $1,548 |
Four sessions a month is about one lesson a week. See current prices on our pricing section.

Questions to ask before paying
- Is there a free trial lesson?
- How long is each lesson and is it one-on-one?
- Who is the teacher and what qualifications do they hold?
- What is the policy if I need to reschedule or stop?
- Are there extra fees?
How many lessons do you need?
Learning a physical skill like recitation benefits from regular repetition. One lesson a week keeps you moving, and more lessons speed up correction. Choose the number you can keep up with, because steady attendance matters more than the biggest package.
Questions to ask before you pay
Before comparing prices, ask these questions of every provider:
- Are lessons one-on-one or in a group, and how long is each lesson?
- What are the teacher's qualifications?
- What happens if I miss or need to move a lesson?
- Is there a free trial, and can I stop after it?
- How is progress tracked and shared?
Frequently asked questions
How much do online Quran classes cost?
Prices vary by format, teacher and lesson length, so compare the price per lesson. For example, our one-on-one 60-minute lessons range from $12.90 to $16 per session.
Are group classes cheaper than one-on-one?
Usually, per lesson, but each student gets less individual correction.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, we offer a free trial lesson with no card required.
Can I reschedule a lesson?
Yes, with 24 hours' notice.
Is a free trial a good sign?
A trial lets you check the teacher and platform before paying, so it is worth using whichever provider you choose.
Are cheaper classes worse?
Not always, but check qualifications, lesson length and whether lessons are one-on-one before comparing prices.
