About Zakir
A teacher first, a specialist in how you learn
Zakir K. is a certified Quran and Arabic tutor based in Pakistan. He has taught one-on-one online for 7 years — 3,291 lessons and counting — after 8+ years of formal study of Arabic, Quran and Islamic studies.
His teaching philosophy is simple: there is no single method that works for everyone. Some students need pictures and audio before they touch a textbook; children need lessons built around what they already love; advanced learners want literature and tafsir. Zakir prepares his own materials — students call them colorful and easy to read — and adapts each course to the person in front of him.
Students on Preply rate him 5.0 out of 5 across 75 reviews, and describe him the same way again and again: patient, professional, flexible.
