Where we teach
there now
Online classes for children in Qatar
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 Qatar.
What families in Qatar come to us for
Doha’s Indian schools run a long day, so our classes are built to land after it rather than across it, and we move them during school examination weeks when you ask. Parents here ask us most often for Qur’an with Tajwid alongside CBSE maths and science — one timetable instead of a tuition centre on one evening and a Qur’an class on another.

In their own words
A parent in Qatar
Classes are good. I feel kids should be given weekly homework to recall and retain what they learned better — something they could commit to every day for ten to twenty minutes. As working parents it's hard to follow up the teaching regularly; homework helps with that gap. Ayza Zainab
Before you book
Questions parents in Qatar ask
Will the class time actually work for us?
Classes for families in Qatar usually run 4pm to 9pm Arabia 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.
Is Bustan an online madrasa for families in Qatar?
If you mean live Qur'an, Tajwid, Hifz and Islamic studies with qualified teachers, that is exactly what we do and some of our parents describe us that way. But the same children also take maths, science, English and their school syllabus with us on the same timetable, so “live online school” is nearer the truth.

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