Become an Xpress Quran Coach

Overview

The Xpress Quran Institute has developed revolutionary methods that make learning to recite the Quran faster and easier than ever before. We know that for many people, learning to recite can feel challenging, unengaging, and time consuming. Our courses are designed to transform the learning experience into one that is easy, engaging, and efficient.  We have seen great success with these methods (as evidenced by our impact report) and have spent countless hours refining our courses. High quality courses are our priority, and because of this, we are almost always oversubscribed. We are now looking to expand our team and train new teachers in our methodology.

The Xpress Quran Coach role is an online, paid, part-time teacher position. Coaches are expected to be available for at least 4 hours a week to teach classes, though they will start off with fewer classes in the initial months. This is an opportunity to support Muslims from all walks of life to build a relationship with the Holy Quran. Most of our Coaches find that through helping others, their own relationship with the Holy Quran becomes even stronger. This is one of the greatest benefits of becoming an Xpress Quran Coach.

Additionally, in return for your service to the Holy Quran, we will provide you with free training worth £2500. While our methods have been an integral part of the success of the institute, the quality of our Coaches has been equally critical. We invest in their development as our methodology only delivers great results when it is taught well. Alhamdulillah, we have had many testimonials that praise the quality of our Coaches and on average, students have rated them 4.8/5.
