Summer Quran Course
The school holidays are the best stretch of unscheduled time in your child's year. Use them to book Quran and Arabic lessons more often than your usual weekly pace — with the same verified tutors and the same £5 pricing Qalam families use all year, starting any week you like.

Same lessons, just more of them
Qalam doesn't run a separate summer programme with its own curriculum or price list. What changes over the holidays is simply how often you book — and for many families, that's exactly what moves the needle.
Book as often as you like
Move from a weekly lesson to three, four or five sessions a week for as long as the holidays allow, then scale back down once school starts. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to cancel — you just book fewer or more slots with your tutor.
One tutor, real continuity
There's no separate summer teacher to introduce and no course to finish and forget. The same tutor who teaches your child in July keeps teaching them in September, with one lesson history and one plan.
Gender-matched tutors
A female tutor for daughters, a male tutor for sons — standard on Qalam, chosen by your family, not assigned by whichever slot happens to be free.
Fits around actual summer plans
Slot-by-slot booking means lessons work around travel, visiting family and days out, rather than a fixed weekly class time you have to build the rest of summer around.
Why summer is the right time to go more often
During term time, once-a-week is realistic for most families — homework, clubs and early nights fill the rest of the schedule. The six-week summer holiday removes most of that competition for time, which is exactly why it suits a more intensive pace: a child who recites daily for a few weeks tends to consolidate Tajweed corrections or push further into a memorisation target than the same child managing one lesson a week. None of this requires a special summer product — it's the same tutors, the same booking system and the same pricing, just used more often while the calendar allows it.
No cohort to wait for, no course to catch up on
Because there's no fixed start date or class group to join, you're never waiting for the next intake or worrying that your child has missed the first week. Start this week if you like, or in the middle of August — the trial lesson and every lesson after it works exactly the same either way. And because it's not a bounded course, there's nothing to “complete” by September; whatever pace you choose over summer simply continues, at whatever frequency suits, into the new school year.
What it costs
Lessons start from £5 per 30-minute lesson, at £10–£24 per hour depending on the tutor, with monthly plans from £40 — the same rates all year round. Booking more lessons per week during the holidays simply means paying for more lessons, not a separate summer fee. Every family starts with a free 30-minute trial, no card required.

Is this a fixed summer course, or flexible lessons?
It's flexible one-to-one lessons, not a fixed cohort with a set start date or curriculum. That's a genuine advantage in the summer holidays: you don't wait for a term to begin or a class to fill up. Start this week, book as many lessons as suits your family, and adjust the schedule as summer plans change — holidays, visiting relatives, days out. The tutor, the booking system and the pricing are exactly the same ones Qalam families use year-round; the only thing that changes over summer is how often you book.
How many lessons a week counts as "intensive"?
There's no fixed programme, so it's really whatever pace fits your child. Many families use the quieter summer weeks to move from their usual once-a-week lesson to three, four or even five short sessions a week, since there's no homework or school schedule competing for the time. A 30-minute lesson most weekdays is a common pattern for making faster progress on Tajweed, memorisation or Arabic before the new school year — but it's entirely up to you, and you can change the frequency at any point.
What does a summer of frequent lessons cost?
Lessons start from £5 per 30 minutes, at £10–£24 per hour depending on the tutor, with monthly plans from £40 — the same pricing that applies all year, not a special summer rate. Booking more lessons per week simply means paying for more lessons; there's no separate summer package or upfront course fee. Every family starts with a free 30-minute trial and no card is required to try it out.
Will this help going into the new school year?
The six-week summer holiday is the best stretch of unscheduled time in a child's year, without school, homework or after-school clubs competing for attention. Using some of it for extra Quran or Arabic lessons — even just a bit more often than the usual weekly pace — means a child heads into September ahead on recitation, memorisation or grammar rather than needing to warm back up. Because it's the same tutor and the same lesson history, there's no separate "summer course" to wrap up either; the extra momentum simply carries into the normal weekly routine once term starts.
Can we request a female tutor for our daughter, or a male tutor for our son?
Yes. Gender-matched tutors are standard on Qalam, not an add-on — a female tutor for daughters and a male tutor for sons if that's what your family wants, all year and over the summer alike.
Can siblings book back-to-back sessions?
Yes. Because lessons are booked slot by slot with each tutor rather than tied to a fixed class timetable, siblings can be scheduled one after another on the same day — useful over summer when everyone is home together and you'd rather do lessons in one block than spread across the week.
