Quran Teacher Togo

Families across Togo can study with a qualified Quran teacher over live video. Classes run one to one for 30 minutes a day, Monday to Friday, and cost 30 euros a month for 20 classes. The CFA franc is pegged to the euro, so that comes to about 19,700 CFA. You get three free trial classes before you pay anything.

You keep the same teacher every week. A parent may sit in on any lesson, at any time, without asking first.

Togo has a long Islamic tradition. Sokodé alone counts more than 200 places of Muslim prayer, recorded by the Islam West Africa Collection. What is harder to find is one to one instruction where a single teacher listens to one student and corrects each sound.

Online Quran classes in Togo and how they work

Lessons run on Zoom or Google Meet. A phone works as well as a laptop. If the signal weakens, video switches off and the lesson carries on by voice, which matters when you are on mobile data.

Togo keeps one time zone, GMT, and never changes clocks. Our teachers work from Lahore, five hours ahead. A 10am lesson in Lomé is 3pm here, and a 2pm lesson is 7pm here. Both sit inside the normal teaching day, so morning and early afternoon slots in Togo are the easiest to book and the least likely to be cancelled. Evening slots after 6pm in Togo fall late at night in Lahore, so we hold only a small number of them.

Miss a lesson and we reschedule it as a make up class when you ask.

Language of instruction

Classes are taught in English and Arabic. Urdu is available on request.

Who these Quran classes are for

Quran classes for kids in Togo: Most children start between ages five and eleven. A lesson fits after school and before Maghrib. Parents watch as often as they like.

Quran classes for adults: Many adults can sound out letters but were never corrected properly. Private lessons remove the embarrassment of that. Complete beginners start from the alphabet with nothing assumed.

Female and male teachers: A female Hafiza can be requested at signup for a daughter or for yourself. She teaches one to one, with no group class and no male student present. Male teachers are available on the same terms.

What you learn

Noorani Qaida

 Letters, sounds and joining. This is where we fix the sounds French and English speakers find hardest, such as ع, ح and ق, and the pairs children mix up like ب, ت and ث. Most children finish Qaida in six to nine months. Younger learners follow our Qaida course for kids and adults.

Nazra, or Quran reading

 Reading from the mushaf with correct pronunciation. We work on Makharij, the points in the mouth and throat where each letter is formed.

Quran with Tajweed

 The rules applied while reciting, including Ghunnah, Qalqalah, the types of Madd, and the rules of Noon Sakinah and Meem Sakinah. Rules come after the ear can hear the difference, not before.

Hifz

 Memorisation with a set revision routine, starting with Juz Amma and the surahs used daily in salah.

Our teachers recite and teach in Hafs an Asim. Most of West Africa recites Warsh an Nafi, so if your child already reads Warsh at a local Quranic school, tell us at signup and we will explain the difference before you book. Tarjuma, Tafseer and Urdu run as separate courses.

Your teachers

Every teacher is a certified Hafiz or Hafiza. Both men and women teach. All are qualified tutors at our online Quran academy in Lahore, which has taught online since 2020, with students in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia.

Hafiz Ali Ahmad and Hafiz Umair Akram each have ten years of teaching experience. Both teach Qaida, Nazra, Tajweed and Hifz, and both work with children and adults.

Three things we commit to. You get the same teacher every lesson, not a rotating pool. A parent is welcome in any lesson, announced or not. If the teacher is not the right fit, we change them once you ask, at no cost, and your progress notes move with you.

You can read what students say and watch real lessons with young learners on our YouTube channel before deciding.

Fees and value

Thirty euros a month covers 20 classes of 30 minutes, one to one. There is no registration fee, no book fee and no charge for the three trial classes. Our refund policy is published in full.

Quranic schools across Sokodé, Bafilo and Kara already teach thousands of children, often at little or no cost, and they do that work well. What they rarely offer is one student to one teacher, a fixed schedule that fits around school, and a parent able to listen in. That is what you are paying for here.

Learning Quran across Togo

Lomé holds the largest Muslim population in the country, centred near the Grande Mosquée in the busy streets around the bus station and the Grand Marché. A lesson at home costs nothing in zemidjan fares and takes no time from your day.

Sokodé, in the Centrale Region, is the heart of Muslim Togo and home to the Kotokoli. We teach students there and in Bafilo, Tchamba, Bassar, Kara, Niamtougou, Mango, Dapaong and Atakpamé, across the Maritime, Plateaux, Centrale, Kara and Savanes regions. Distance changes nothing about the lesson.

The same class times suit families across West Africa. See our pages for the United Kingdom and the United States.
