Skilled teaching. Fair pay.

Meet Ustaz: Arabic and Quran lessons with teachers from Gaza and Palestinians abroad.

From everyday Palestinian Arabic to Quranic Arabic and Tajweed, you choose what you learn.

Lessons are live and face to face, right in your browser, on your phone or your laptop.

And it's built for weaker connections, so teachers can join from where they are.

Teachers keep about 85% of every lesson, and every fee is shown. Trial lessons pay the teacher too. Other platforms take up to 33%, and some keep your whole trial lesson. We want to make it fairer, and easier, for teachers.

Our pilot is running now. Every fee is shown before you book, payments are demo-only for now, and we stand behind every lesson.

We're now testing automated lesson notes: a transcript of your lesson, checked by your teacher, for adults who opt in.

Our goal: more learning, and more teaching livelihoods. Ask about the pilot at ustaz.io.

Excellent for me, fair to my teacher.
