Translation is one of six course types we teach in Leeds (with Qaida, Tajweed, Hifz, Quran Recitation and Quranic Arabic). Here you study what the ayat mean in plain English, the setting when they came down, and short tafsir from trusted books—always one-to-one online. Good if you can read a little Arabic or rely on a side-by-side mushaf and want sense, not guesswork.
In Leeds we teach Qaida, Tajweed, Hifz, Quran Recitation, Translation and Quranic Arabic as separate one-to-one courses. Translation is for meaning and explanation; if letters or grammar are still weak, we often pair or start with Qaida, Tajweed or Quranic Arabic so you are not stuck on every word.
Learners in Horsforth, Pudsey, Kirkstall, Bramley, Morley, Rothwell, Garforth, Seacroft, Cross Gates and Armley often book evenings after work or weekend mornings. Classes are live online; you read the ayah and the tutor unpacks it with you.

We tie Arabic words to meaning you can remember
Notes from recognised tafsir, explained simply
When background changes how you read the ayah
Halal and haram themes without stretching the text
We name the root idea of the ayah and common English renderings. Students in Meanwood, Hyde Park, Woodhouse, Burley often bring questions from khutbah or school—we answer in the lesson.
Short notes from classical tafsir, trimmed to your level. We flag when scholars differ so you are not taught one opinion as the only reading.
We link ayat to salah, family duties and honesty at work—always tied to the text, not loose slogans.
Some start from Juz Amma; others pick a surah they hear often. Parents in Farsley, Yeadon, Adel, Alwoodley sometimes split one surah over two weeks with teenagers—we set reading homework that fits.
We read the Arabic slowly, pick out repeating words, then build the full English sense. You learn to see why two translations can word things differently.
When an ayah answered a question in Madinah or Makkah, we say so. That stops verses being quoted out of place.
Quick recall of old ayat so meaning sticks—spoken back in your own words, then corrected gently.
Same monthly structure as our other one-to-one courses—clear costs for households in Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Harehills, Roundhay, Gipton and the rest of the city.
No—you can start with a mushaf and our walk-through. If you want deeper grammar, we also run Quranic Arabic in Leeds as its own course.
We draw on mainstream Sunni tafsir and say the source. If two views exist, we name both when it matters for how you read the ayah.
Yes. We keep slots after school in west Leeds, north Leeds and east Leeds. Shorter lessons often work better than one long weekly block.
No. Recitation focuses on sound, breath and flow. Translation focuses on meaning and explanation; you can take both as separate one-to-one courses.
