About Ali
Assalamu Alaikum — I'm Ali, a native Arabic speaker from Egypt and a graduate of Al-Azhar University, one of the oldest and most respected centres of Islamic learning in the world. I memorised the entire Qur'an as a child and hold an Ijazah in Hafs Riwayah, which qualifies me to teach Qur'an recitation and memorisation to others.
For almost seven years, I've taught students of all ages and backgrounds — from a 4-year-old just learning the letters to a 70-year-old reciting for the first time in decades — across the UK, USA, Canada, Malaysia, and Kenya. That range has taught me something important: no two students learn the same way, so I don't teach everyone the same way either. I take the time to understand what each student needs and shape my approach around that.
My lessons cover reading the Qur'an accurately, developing fluency, mastering Tajweed rules, memorisation, recitation, and building basic Arabic vocabulary along the way.
When it comes to memorisation, I keep a simple, steady rhythm: we begin each class by reviewing what came before, then move on to a new section which we repeat together ten times, and I ask students to send me a recording and a photo of that section so I can check their progress between lessons.
For recitation and reading, I like to walk through the lesson clearly first, work through real examples together, and finish with a short task that helps the lesson stick.
I teach from a fully equipped setup — reliable internet, a graphic tablet for writing and correcting in real time, a professional camera and mic, and up-to-date teaching resources — so lessons run smoothly no matter where you're joining from.
More than anything, I care about consistent communication and making sure students and I are working as a team. Progress in the Qur'an takes patience on both sides, and I'm committed to giving my full effort to help every student get there.

Learning to read the Qur'an properly doesn't have to feel overwhelming, and it definitely doesn't have to be rushed. I build every lesson around where the student actually is — whether that means starting from the Arabic alphabet, working through Tajweed rules one at a time, or refining recitation that's already fairly strong.
Children tend to respond best to short, encouraging steps with plenty of repetition, so I keep their lessons light and interactive without losing focus. Adults usually prefer a bit more explanation — understanding why a rule works, not just how to apply it — so I adjust the pace and depth accordingly.
Whatever stage you're at, the goal stays the same: steady, genuine progress you can feel from one lesson to the next, in an environment where making mistakes is simply part of learning, not something to worry about.
Your first lesson is free — a chance for us to get to know each other, talk through your goals, and figure out the right starting point together.

Perfect! Good teacher, patient
Perfect! I am so grateful for being taught by Ali because I have learned so much in a short amount of time, and my progress in the Quran has significantly improved. Due to his effective teaching methods, I can read almost effortlessly and continue to learn even more. I enjoy every lesson and highly recommend Ali if you want to learn how to read the Quran.
Perfect! Ali has been an absolute outstanding teacher. Commited focused and excellent at his job. He has made this journey easy and is also very flexible 10/10
Perfect! My son has had an excellent experience practicing his Arabic with this teacher. The lessons are supportive and engaging, and he feels comfortable practicing without worrying about making mistakes. Highly recommended!
Perfect! I've really been enjoying my lessons with Ustadh Ali. I really appreciate how he keeps the pace steady – there's no rush, which helps me focus on proper pronunciation (makharij) and build confidence as I go. He’s great at gently correcting mistakes in the moment and explaining things in a clear, encouraging way. One thing that stands out is his punctuality – every class he is ready on time, and that consistency really helps me stay committed and motivated. It’s been a great experience learning with him, and I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made so far.
Perfect! Amazing Communication, knowledge and understanding on how to teach depending on the level of the student. Constantly pushing for me to do more, and encouraging me to be able to learn more regardless of how difficult I may find it.
Perfect! My 1st lesson with Ali was really an eye opener to what I've missed out not being able to read the Quran properly. Ali is now teaching from the basics and we are making very good progress. Inshallah within a couple of months I should be able to read the Quran with the correct tajweed and no mistakes. May Allah swt Bless you Ali
Perfect! Ali is really helpful and interactive with his teaching. In only a few short lessons he's helped to take me from barely recognising some Arabic letters to being comfortable to try and recite new Surahs I've not seen before.
He's always really happy and encouraging, and has been really patient whenever I struggle.Perfect! I am so happy with Ali, not only because I see the results, but also because my son is always so happy to have the lesson with Ali as he makes the lessons interesting for him. He knows the techniques of teaching young children who do not have much attention span. Ali is very flexible and ready to adjust his teaching style according to the needs of the student. Ali is very professional in his approach and his knowledge on Arabic language is superior. I would highly recommend Ali for anyone who is looking to learn Arabic.
