Time difference with Pakistan: winter and summer
Pakistan uses UTC+5 all year and does not currently change its clocks. Many countries do, so the gap changes during the year. The table shows the usual gap in each season. Use the converter above for the exact answer on a particular date.

|---|---|---|
| UK and Ireland (London, Dublin) | Pakistan is 5 hours ahead (GMT) | Pakistan is 4 hours ahead (BST / IST summer time) |
| Eastern US and Canada (New York, Toronto) | Pakistan is 10 hours ahead (EST) | Pakistan is 9 hours ahead (EDT) |

Clock-change dates differ between regions (the US and Canada change on different dates from the UK and Europe, and the southern hemisphere changes in the opposite season), so for a few weeks each spring and autumn the gap can differ from both columns. Always check the exact date with the converter or with us.
Choosing a class time that lasts
Children learn best when class is at a regular time they can predict, ideally after school and before they are tired. Adults often prefer early morning before work or a slot after the evening meal. Decide on your local time first, then use the converter to check it against Pakistan time and confirm it with us.
Classes are live and one-to-one, so you and your teacher agree a time together. Plans run Monday to Friday; see pricing and how it works for Australia, the UK, the USA and Canada. New to Arabic? Start with the Noorani Qaida, then move on to Tajweed or Hifz.
Frequently asked questions
What time zone is your teacher in?
Our teacher is based in Pakistan, which uses Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5). Pakistan does not currently change its clocks for daylight saving, so a class that is at the same time in Pakistan all year can move by an hour on your clock when your country changes its clocks.
Why does the time difference change during the year?
Pakistan stays on UTC+5, but the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, New Zealand and parts of Australia move their clocks forward and back. Each region changes on different dates, so for a few weeks each spring and autumn the gap can be different from both the usual winter and summer figures. This tool works the gap out for the exact date you choose.
Which class times suit families in the UK, US, Canada and Australia?
After school or work is the usual choice. For the UK and Europe, late afternoon and evening slots in your time line up with evening in Pakistan; for North America, early morning or evening slots work for different families; for Australia, afternoon and evening slots in your time are morning or midday in Pakistan. Tell us your preferred time when you book a trial and we will confirm what is available.
Will my class time change when the clocks change?
We keep your agreed local time wherever we can. Tell your teacher at the start of the week the clocks change, and we will confirm the new time together so nobody turns up an hour early or late.
Does the converter handle daylight saving automatically?
Yes. It uses your browser's built-in time zone data to work out the exact difference on the date you pick, so the answer is right whether your country is on summer time or winter time that day.
