How classes work for families in Leicester
Every class is a live 1-on-1 video lesson, Monday to Friday, with 20 classes a month on every plan. Your teacher is based in Pakistan, but your slot is agreed in your own local time in Leicester (UK time (GMT / BST)). Most UK schools finish in mid-afternoon, so after-school lessons usually mean the early evening, which is Pakistan's late evening. Half-term weeks and the longer school holidays are a good moment to add extra classes or try a different slot.

The UK moves its clocks forward in late March and back in late October. Pakistan does not change its clocks, so the gap is five hours in winter and four hours in summer. To check any other time, use the class time converter.
In-person madrasa or online 1-on-1 in Leicester?
| In-person madrasa | Online 1-on-1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Teacher attention | Usually a group; the teacher hears each learner briefly. | The whole lesson is on one learner, and mistakes are corrected on the spot. |
| Pace | Set by the group and the term plan. | Set by the learner; hard parts can be repeated. |
| Travel and timing | Travel to a fixed place at fixed times. | From home, with a time agreed within the teacher's hours. |
| Community | Other children, the congregation and the mosque setting. | No peer group; it pairs well with local community life. |
| Parent visibility | Varies by venue. | Parents may sit in, and progress notes appear in the parent dashboard. |
Both have a place, and many families use both: the local community for belonging, and 1-on-1 lessons for precise correction of recitation.
Questions from families in Leicester
Can we request a female teacher for our daughter in Leicester?
Yes — every class at Saba Quran is currently taught by Saba Afzal, a female, Ijazah-holding teacher who teaches in English and Urdu, so a female teacher is the default rather than a special request. Mention any other preference when you book a free trial.
Do you teach adult beginners in Leicester, not just kids?
Yes — a large share of our students are adult beginners, whether new Muslims, reverts, or lifelong Muslims starting from scratch, and classes are paced accordingly.
What is the time difference between Leicester and your teacher?
Your teacher is based in Pakistan (UTC+5, with no daylight saving time). For Leicester (UK time (GMT / BST)): Pakistan is 5 hours ahead in standard time. In daylight saving time Pakistan is 4 hours ahead, because Pakistan does not change its clocks. Your slot is agreed in your local time.
