Teach with us: online Quran teacher jobs and other roles
Taqwa Foundation has taught families one-to-one since 2009. We are usually looking for teachers, and sometimes for the people who keep everything behind the classes running.
If you teach the Quran well and you are patient with beginners, we would like to hear from you.
Online Quran teacher
The main role we hire for, and the one most people are here about.
The work is live, one-to-one classes of 30 minutes, taught over Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, or WhatsApp. Your students may be a six-year-old meeting the Arabic letters for the first time, an adult who never had the chance as a child, or a student working through hifz with weekly revision.
Parents often sit in, especially early on, and that is normal here rather than a sign of trouble.
What we look for
| Requirement | Detail | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Recitation | Strong Quran recitation with correct tajweed. Huffaz and teachers holding ijazah are especially welcome, and we verify every credential before it appears anywhere. | |
| Patience with children | The part we cannot train, and the part parents notice first. | |
| Teaching experience | Experience with students who do not speak Arabic as a first language. | |
| Language | Clear spoken English. Arabic and Urdu are useful additions, not requirements. | |
| Setup | A reliable internet connection and a quiet place to teach. | |
| Hours | Students across US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand timezones. We run classes around the clock, so we can build a schedule around whatever hours you can genuinely commit to. Each posting states the hours it needs. | |
| Pay and terms | Set per role and stated in full on the posting itself, including whether it is an employed or a contracted position. We do not ask anyone to apply without knowing what the role pays. |
How we hire
A personal reference is required before we consider anyone, then a background check, then testing, then a probation period taught under supervision, which usually runs four to six months. We do not put a teacher in front of a student before that is complete.
Female Quran teachers
Many of our families specifically ask for a female teacher, for a daughter or for themselves, and demand is consistently higher than supply.
If you are a qualified sister who teaches, please apply. The role is the same as above, and you can read what those families are asking for on our classes with female teachers page.
Other roles
Teaching is most of what we hire for, but not all of it. Classes only run on time because someone schedules them, answers families, and follows up when a student goes quiet.
Non-teaching roles in student support, scheduling, operations and marketing open and close through the year. When one is open it is listed here; when nothing is listed, there is nothing open right now.

What it is like to work here
One student at a time
Our classes are one student and one teacher, so you are teaching a person rather than managing a room.
Your timetable is agreed, not assigned
We match students to the hours you have told us you can teach.
Rematching is normal
If a student is not the right fit for you, or you for them, say so. We move them without argument and nobody takes offense. It is better for the student and better for you.
We do not oversell
Families are told what is typical, not what is guaranteed, and teachers are never asked to promise a timeline to keep someone enrolled.
How to apply
Email [email protected] with your CV, a short recitation sample, your timezone and the hours you can offer. If a specific posting is open, apply to the address on that posting instead.
Tell us which course lines you can teach, your timezone, and the hours you can offer. If you have a recitation sample, send it. We usually reply within 48 hours, sooner when we are hiring urgently.
FAQs
Do I need an ijazah to teach here?
No. An ijazah is welcome and we verify it, but strong recitation, correct tajweed and genuine patience matter more for most of our students.
Can I teach part time?
Yes. Many of our teachers teach a small number of fixed hours a week, and because we run classes around the clock we can usually build a schedule around what you have.
Where do your students live?
Mostly the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Your teaching hours will follow those timezones.
Do you hire teachers who are not huffaz?
Yes, for reading, Noorani Qaida and tajweed classes. Hifz students are taught by huffaz.
Will I teach children or adults?
Both, unless you would rather not. Tell us your preference when you apply.
Do parents really sit in on classes?
Often, particularly in the first weeks. Teachers here expect it, and the families who watch early tend to be the families who stay.
