Short answer
Families in Australia and New Zealand usually book Quran lessons after school or on weekend mornings in their own local time. Because Australian states differ on daylight saving, confirm your state when booking so the lesson time stays the same all year.
Different states, different clocks
In Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT, Tasmania and South Australia use daylight saving, while Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia do not. New Zealand has one main timezone and changes its clocks in September and April. Booking in your local time avoids confusion.
After school is the favourite
Most families choose a short lesson soon after school, between about 3:30pm and 6:30pm. Weekend mornings suit families with busy weekday schedules.
School terms and holidays
Both countries have school holidays between terms. A lighter schedule during the holidays helps children keep their reading fluency.
Smaller communities
In many towns there may be few local Quran teachers. Online lessons let a child keep the same one-to-one teacher wherever the family lives.
