We’re an e-maktab that provides one-to-one online tuition exclusively for Qur’ān & Islamic Studies. Our unique approach involves tailored lessons for each student, ensuring a personalised learning experience. Unlike traditional maktabs, our tuition is individualised, allowing tutors to focus on the specific needs of the learner.

The way we operate is, when we have a new student on our Waiting List or a transfer request for an existing student, we'll check with you and inform of the opportunity.

If you are available and agree to take on the student based on the suggested days & times of the parent, you'll be given their Parents/Guardians contact information to connect with them. Together, you'll discuss suitable days and times for the lessons based on both of your availability. Most follow our Standard Structure of fixing 3 days in the week and times that would be suitable for both to teach their child(s). This flexible approach allows you to set a schedule at your convenience. This will then be the set timetable for the rest of the academic year during your tenure with us, unless the student is removed from your class.

Each child has to have at least a minimum of 1.5hrs of lessons per week. An example of a timetable agreed for one of your students can be:
Mon, Wed, Thurs @ 5:30pm to 6:00pm

You may also have other students, each with their own different days & times.

We recommend parents to follow our Standard Structure of half an hour lessons, 3 days a week, but based on your preference and availability, this can be made flexible to accommodate what parents request. For example, a parent who has chosen the 30-minute sessions package, may request to consolidate the 3 lessons/1.5hrs of lessons in the week to 2 days instead of 3 days, which would account to 45-minute sessions each day.

To teach at The Quran Hub, you need a minimum of 2+ years of maktab experience in the English language having taught the Safar Syllabus curriculum. Additionally, you'll need a valid DBS certificate and have the right to work in the UK. Our peak demand times are usually after-school hours which typically fall on the weekdays from 5pm to 7pm, so having availability during these hours is highly recommended.

Once you have agreed upon a schedule with the student's Parent/Guardian, we recommend maintaining punctual to those times. Consistently changing the agreed-upon schedule may inconvenience the parent and lead to unsatisfactory service. Therfore, we don’t recommend changing times frequently once fixed.

However, if you need to reschedule due to an urgent matter, please provide 24 hours' notice to the parent. Failure to do so will effect your position with us and your also your pay.

While taking leave during term time is possible (only through advanced notice of approval), we encourage tutors to reschedule lessons during school holidays whenever possible, but again, please be considerate as not to do it too many times. Frequent rescheduling during term time can be disruptive for students. You do have ample time off from the academic school holidays with us.

No, there is no set limit on the number of students you can teach. However, you should manage your timetable effectively to ensure punctuality and quality in your teaching. Before taking on additional students, please confirm your availability with us. Please note that your experience and performance is taken into consideration when we assign any students to see if you are fit to take on more.

In addition to the aforementioned requirements, we do require a minimum of 1 year commitment subject to passing the 3 month probation. We will also need your National Insurance (NI) number as proof of your right to work in the UK, including reference from your previous employer if any. If you do not have a DBS Certificate, we can assist you in obtaining one for a fee of £65, which also includes lifetime enrolment in the Update Service.

Yes, we are a professional organisation and therefore you will be inducted as how you would be in a normal job with adequate coaching and resources provided to you on demand. We offer comprehensive training and support to all our tutors. You will be required to complete the Safar Teachers Training programme before you can start teaching. Once you complete the course, you can send us a screenshot of your Certificate as proof of completion.

Your wages are based on the number of students you teach and the specific lesson structure they follow. For students using the Standard Structure, the approximate monthly wage is £50 per child, equivalent to £4.60 per half-hour session. Payments are issued via bank transfer on the last working day of each month and this includes holiday periods, except for the Summer Holidays, which marks the conclusion of the academic year.

The more time the lesson are i.e. if a parent opts for our Premium Package, with longer 40-minute lessons (instead of 30 minutes) held three times a week, your pay will vary accordingly. The exact amount depends on the specific students assigned to you based on their chosen package.

To calculate your wage, simply divide our base pay of £4.60 by 30 minutes to determine your per-minute rate. Then multiply this rate by 40 minutes, followed by a multiplication by 3 (days per week). Then, multiply the total weekly amount by ±38 (academic weeks of teaching) and divide the annual total by 11 (months of payment). The closest amount to this calculation represents your monthly wage.

You will be treated as an employee and will be contractually employed by us. It's important to note that, as a non-profit organisation, you will be considered a 'voluntary' worker/employee, meaning there is no tax implication associated with your role and you will not be applicable for the National Minimum Wage. You can find out the entitlement for that on the official GOV.UK website here, in which you would come under "people who are volunteers or voluntary workers".

We conduct our online lessons through Zoom/Google Meets, coupled with our online learning platform, Journey2Jannah, which offers interactive videos and online activities to enhance the learning experience.

Yes, upon accepting our job offer, you will be employed by The Quran Hub and you will receive a welcome email with all necessary details. However, please note that you may not be assigned a student immediately, as it depends on student enrollment and availability.

We are a registered non-profit organisation so you can be rest assured that you will be treated fairly as our own employee and be provided with incentives, benefits and resources to carry out your role effectively as possible. Our commitment extends to adherence to privacy guidelines, e-safety policies, inclusion, diversity, data protection and GDPR compliance. We pride ourselves in ensuring professionalism throughout our organisation. You can find us on Company House by visiting here.

Upon successful completion of the 3-month probationary period, we anticipate a commitment from tutors to stay with us for a minimum of one year. This commitment is crucial to maintaining uninterrupted lessons for our students. Should you decide to terminate your contract before the completion of the agreed-upon duration, your final month's payment will be adjusted to half of the monthly wage.
