Where we teach

Online classes for children in Chennai
Qur’an and Arabic, maths and science, Malayalam, abacus and character — taught live in batches of two to four, in English, by a teacher who sees your child every week. Built around a family’s week in Chennai.
What families in Chennai come to us for
Close enough to Kerala to visit, far enough that a home language slips anyway. We teach Malayalam as a subject in its own right here, alongside Qur’an with Tajwid and the CBSE or state-board syllabus the child is actually graded on.

In their own words
A parent in Chennai
Bustan e-Learning has been a very engaging, interactive and learning process. Some of the plus points of the class is the varied topical learning, from language till fiqh. Even though it is online the class is very interactive and interesting for the kids to learn. Sejna Yasser, Chennai
Before you book
Questions parents in Chennai ask
Will the class time actually work for us?
Classes for families in Chennai usually run 4pm to 8.30pm India Standard Time. We fix the slot with you on the trial call around school, work and your own evening — not around ours — and we move it when a school examination week arrives rather than letting the term lapse.
Which language will my child be taught in?
English. Tajwid, meaning and adab are explained in the same language as mathematics and science, so that a lesson is understood rather than simply followed. Where a child is more comfortable in Malayalam, Arabic, Hindi or Urdu we teach them in that instead, and we correspond with you in whichever you prefer.
What does it cost, and what do we pay to start?
Nothing to register and nothing for the trial class. We agree the fee with you after the trial, once we know the subjects, the batch size and how often your child will attend, because those are what it depends on.
How big is a class?
Two to four children, or one to one where that is the right arrangement. Small enough that every child reads aloud and answers out loud every time.
Can my child learn Malayalam here?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons families in the Indian metros come to us. We teach Malayalam as a subject in its own right — reading and writing it, not only understanding it — while every other subject is taught in English. See Malayalam.
Can you teach to my child's school board?
CBSE, ICSE and IGCSE most often, and state boards on request. Bring the school's own textbook; we teach to the paper your child will actually sit.

We will call to arrange it at a time that works where you are, and registering commits you to nothing.
