About us
FQE Academy exists because an app cannot tell you that you are pronouncing a letter wrong, and a video cannot notice that your daughter has gone quiet. Only a person can do that.
Where we came from
FQE Academy comes from the team behind Free Quran Education, whose free materials have reached millions of learners around the world. We are proud of that work and it continues.
But the same message kept arriving. People had watched the videos, downloaded the guides, and worked through them honestly — and they were still stuck. Not because the material was poor, but because nobody was listening to them recite. They had no way of knowing what they were getting wrong, and a mistake nobody corrects becomes a habit that lasts thirty years.
So we built the one thing free resources cannot be: a real teacher, at an agreed time, who knows your name and hears every letter. That is all FQE Academy is. We did not add features on top of it, because there is nothing to add.
That money should never be the reason someone cannot read the Quran — which is why our fees start at $40 a month and there is no registration fee, no materials fee, and nothing to sign.
That teaching the Quran badly is worse than not teaching it at all. We turn away most teachers who apply, and we would rather tell you we have no one suitable this month than hand your child to someone we are unsure about.
And that a parent should never have to wonder what happens in their child’s class. You may watch any lesson, unannounced, whenever you like. There is nothing in a class we would not want you to see.
“We are not trying to be the biggest Quran academy. We are trying to be the one where your child is genuinely known.”
The FQE Academy team
To put a qualified, patient Quran teacher within reach of every family that wants one — regardless of where they live, what they earn, or how old they are. Not a recording. A person.
A generation that does not merely finish the Quran but understands what it is holding — reciting with care because someone took the time to teach it properly, and passing that on to their own children.
Our standard
Most online academies say their teachers are "qualified" and leave it there. Here is our actual process, so you can judge it for yourself.
Before anything else, our head Qari listens to them recite. Most applicants do not get past this step, and that is the point of it.
Hifz teachers must be Hafiz or Hafiza. We verify what people tell us rather than taking their word for it.
Reciting well and teaching well are different skills. A brilliant reciter who cannot hold a six-year-old’s attention is no use to you.
Teachers are reviewed against your feedback and your child’s progress. Standards that are not checked are not standards.
Safeguarding
When you put it that plainly, it should give any parent pause. It gives us pause too, which is why these rules are not negotiable.

In their words
Affordable Quran lessons via zoom classes, and an existing customer for years :)
Good teacher, always present and patient, Alhamdulillah. May Allah increase your knowledge and reward you, ameen.
It’s only been a few classes but I love the flexibility, the patience and ease of this class and teacher.
