"My children go to a mosque school but the teacher explains everything in English, which they understand, but it never fully clicked. Their Nuranee tutor teaches in Urdu, like we speak at home. The change in engagement is remarkable." — Parent in Bradford, UK
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find a tutor who teaches entirely in Urdu?
Yes. Nuranee has tutors who are native Urdu speakers and can deliver all subjects — Noorani Qaida, Quran reading, Tajweed, and Hifz — in Urdu. Specify your language preference when booking.
Is Urdu close to Arabic? Does that help with Quran learning?
Urdu has significant Arabic-origin vocabulary and uses a script derived from Arabic-Persian. Urdu-speaking children often recognise Arabic letter sounds more instinctively than English-speaking children. A tutor who teaches in Urdu can leverage this natural advantage consciously.
My child was born in the UK and speaks both Urdu and English. Which medium is better?
This varies by child. Some children who speak both languages prefer English for formal learning; others respond better in Urdu, especially for religious subjects. Try both in a free trial session and see which produces more engagement.
