ABOUT QURAN COMPASS
About Quran Compass: Your Quran, Arabic & Islamic Studies Academy
Quran Compass was founded to help Muslims in the Netherlands connect with the Book of Allah in a way that fits real family life. Weekend classes are often crowded and the pace rarely suits every child, so we built an online academy with personal attention, a structured curriculum, and a teacher who knows each learner by name.
Our teachers follow the recitation of Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim and teach Tajweed step by step, from correct letter pronunciation (Makharij) to fluent, beautiful recitation. Lessons are taught in clear English for non-Arabic speakers, and families receive regular progress updates.

My name is Amin Khan. I am 15 years old and I've been studying with brother Ahmed Gil for the past about five or six years. I can honestly say that he is an excellent Quran teacher.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated environment, I definitely recommend studying with Quran Compass 100%.
AAmeen Khan Quran
My name is Mai. I am a student of Ahmed Jamil who is the founder of Quran Compass. I have been with him for nearly seven years and during that time I was able to fully memorize the Quran and alhamdulillah I'm still keeping up with my revision as well as learning Arabic with him. He's a very kind teacher, very friendly, interactive and engaging. So, anyone who's wanting to learn the Quran, memorize it, or even understand it, I highly recommend checking out Quran Compass and learning with us Ahmed.

He's a very he's a very patient and understanding teacher. I can't even recall a single time where he's even raised his voice at me. And I felt that I can always talk to him on a personal level, not just as a teacher, but as a good friend and a brother. And I recommend to everyone to check out Quran Compass regardless of your age. Check it out. It will be very beneficial. Inshallah, you'll learn a lot. He's a very great teacher. Alhamdulillah.
