Quran and Arabic Teacher Jobs in BanjarmasinTeachers wanted from Pasar Lama to Sungai Andai
Do you live in Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara or Banjarmasin Tengah, or in a neighbourhood such as Pemurus or Sungai Andai? Arabi has only a few ustadz and ustadzah in this city, and that holds for recitation and tahfidz as much as for calligraphy, Arabic or Islamic studies. Whatever your subject, Banjarmasin has a gap that your teaching could help close.
Teaching roles needed in Banjarmasin
-
Quran Recitation Teacher
Few teachers so farSuits a patient ustadz or ustadzah who likes working with beginners on iqra and makhraj. Recitation is thinly staffed in Banjarmasin, including Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara and Banjarmasin Tengah, the districts most of our teachers call home.
-
Quran Memorisation (Tahfidz) Teacher
Few teachers so farFor a teacher with the discipline to hear setoran session after session and keep murajaah alive. Banjarmasin has few Arabi tahfidz teachers, so someone doing this work from Kelayan or Pekapuran fills a real gap.
-
Quran Reading Improvement (Tahsin) Teacher
Few teachers so farA good fit if your ear catches a slip in makhraj at once and you like working with people who already read. Tahsin teachers for Arabi are scarce in Banjarmasin, in Kayu Tangi and Teluk Dalam as much as anywhere.
-
Arabic Language Teacher
Few teachers so farMeant for someone at ease with spoken Arabic and with nahwu and shorof, living in Banjarmasin Utara, Pemurus or another part of the city. Arabic sits among the fields where Banjarmasin still has few Arabi teachers.
-
Arabic Calligraphy (Khat) Teacher
Few teachers so farRight for a steady-handed teacher who can show a beginner khat Naskhi and then khat Riqah. Calligraphy is thinly covered in Banjarmasin, so Pasar Lama and Banjarmasin Barat are as open to you as any other area.
-
Islamic Studies Teacher
Few teachers so farFits a teacher who can talk about akidah akhlak and fiqh in plain words with a teenager or an adult. Islamic studies is short of Arabi teachers across Banjarmasin, and Banjarmasin Selatan and Banjarmasin Timur are no exception.
Islamic learning in Banjarmasin
Banjarmasin is known for Masjid Sultan Suriansyah and Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin, names that people here recognise at once. Arabi has no partnership with either mosque, and we mention them only as landmarks the city is known for. Arabi's own work happens somewhere much smaller: a front room in Banjarmasin Tengah, a house in Kelayan, or a screen in Arabi App. The students are children starting with hijaiyah letters, teenagers who want steadier reading or a start in Arabic, and adults who have decided to learn or to return to it. Each of them studies alone with a teacher, on a schedule the pair agree together. With few Arabi teachers in the city in any field, each ustadz or ustadzah who joins widens what we can offer here.
Few teachers, and most of them in the same districts
Look at where Arabi's Banjarmasin teachers live and a pattern appears: Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara and Banjarmasin Tengah come up again and again, while Banjarmasin Selatan and Banjarmasin Barat come up far less often. Add to that another fact about this city. In Banjarmasin, recitation, tahfidz and tahsin are as thinly staffed as calligraphy, Arabic and Islamic studies, so none of our subjects has a settled group of teachers behind it yet. An ustadzah in Kelayan who teaches tahsin and an ustadz in Kayu Tangi who teaches khat Naskhi are equally hard for us to find. That shapes how we read applications from Banjarmasin: your subject matters, and so does your address. A teacher in Pekapuran, Pemurus or Teluk Dalam tells us something useful simply by naming the neighbourhood. Whether students follow, and when, is something we cannot forecast for Banjarmasin Barat any more than for Banjarmasin Tengah.
Children, teenagers and adults from Kayu Tangi to Kelayan
Teaching in Banjarmasin means working beside a single learner, at that person's home or through a video lesson in Arabi App. Three kinds of learner appear: children beginning with the Quran and basic Islamic knowledge, teenagers settling their own footing in faith and Arabic, and adults who have chosen to study for themselves. All six Arabi roles, Quran recitation through calligraphy, welcome new teachers here, and lessons can happen across Banjarmasin Tengah, Banjarmasin Utara, Banjarmasin Selatan, Banjarmasin Timur and Banjarmasin Barat, in neighbourhoods like Kayu Tangi, Sungai Andai, Kelayan, Teluk Dalam, Pasar Lama, Pekapuran and Pemurus.
With a child, patience comes first. Brief spells of focus, a calm voice and gentle repetition help a young learner know the hijaiyah letters of the Quran, draw the opening strokes of a calligraphy letter, or recall the order of wudu. A short recap with the child at the end of each Banjarmasin visit, on what went smoothly and what is coming, helps it stick.
Teenagers respond more readily once you show why each step matters. Their school days are full, so a clear target per meeting keeps them moving: an Arabic passage to read aloud, a few points of tajwid, the guidelines for reciting the Quran correctly, to put into practice, or a chapter of Islamic history to discuss. Giving them room to act independently is what brings them back.
Adults come with their own reasons and pace. Some want to repair recitation learned long ago; others want to read Arabic texts or grasp fiqh of worship, which sets out how prayer, fasting and purification are done. An adult needs you to listen before teaching, to answer each question with respect, and to fit each session to the time they can honestly offer.
What Arabi teachers do in Banjarmasin
- When a student in Banjarmasin Barat or Banjarmasin Timur is assigned to you, go to their house for the lesson, or meet them on Arabi App if the distance from your own district is too great.
- Once your Arabi Method training is done, begin with the field you applied for, be it recitation, Arabic or khat Naskhi, since Banjarmasin is short in all of them.
- If a family in Kelayan or Kayu Tangi asks for a particular afternoon, settle the day with them yourself and turn up as arranged each time.
- When the learner is a child in Pasar Lama still on iqra, slow down; when it is an adult in Pemurus starting nahwu, let their questions lead the lesson.
- If your home is in Banjarmasin Utara and Sungai Andai or Teluk Dalam is too far for you, say so early, so we only suggest students you can actually get to.
Who should apply in Banjarmasin
- A teacher whose command of the subject is solid, be it tahfidz, calligraphy or Islamic studies, because Arabi's team in Banjarmasin is thin in each of them.
- Someone whose home is in Banjarmasin Selatan or Banjarmasin Barat, where fewer of our current teachers are found, or in Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara or Banjarmasin Tengah beside the colleagues already there.
- Someone with a degree, or with time already spent teaching, who can explain harakat or shorof calmly to a learner in Pekapuran meeting it for the first time.
- A teacher who will finish the Arabi Method course first and then carry it faithfully into every home they visit, from Teluk Dalam to Sungai Andai.
- Someone at ease with a child in Kayu Tangi, a teenager in Kelayan and an adult in Pasar Lama alike, who turns up, in person or on screen, when they said they would.
Teaching areas in Banjarmasin
Most Arabi teachers in Banjarmasin live in Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara and Banjarmasin Tengah. If you live in any of them, you join colleagues who are already there, and because teachers remain few in every field, your subject is still open. Banjarmasin Selatan and Banjarmasin Barat sit outside that cluster, so a teacher based in either district is especially useful to us. We also want to hear from teachers in neighbourhoods such as Kayu Tangi, Sungai Andai, Kelayan, Teluk Dalam, Pasar Lama, Pekapuran and Pemurus. Tell us where you live and how far you are willing to travel, and we will look for students within that reach or online.

Banjarmasin Timur, Utara and Tengah as starting points
Arabi teachers in Banjarmasin mostly live in Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara and Banjarmasin Tengah, and your week forms around that base. Home visits stay within the parts of the city you can reach without strain, while a learner beyond that reach, perhaps in Banjarmasin Barat or Banjarmasin Selatan, can learn with you online via Arabi App. An afternoon could pair a visit in Kayu Tangi with an evening video lesson, and the following day could run entirely online.
Each role prepares in its own way. For Quran recitation or tahsin, you review the letters and tajwid points a learner tripped on. For tahfidz, you ready the passage for talqin, reciting a verse for the learner to echo, and plan murajaah, revisiting earlier memorisation. For Arabic, you choose vocabulary and one point of nahwu or shorof, sentence structure or word forms. For calligraphy, you pick khat Naskhi or khat Riqah letters to drill for proportion, and for Islamic studies you prepare a topic in Islamic history, akidah akhlak or the fiqh that governs worship.
Once a session ends, you record what the learner mastered, what needs another pass and how to open the next meeting. The hours you can carry are yours to name, and every timetable is settled directly with the learner, so your Banjarmasin week can be light or full according to your season of life. Payment comes for every session taught.
Plainly put, every field in Banjarmasin is still short of Arabi teachers, tahfidz and tahsin as much as calligraphy, Arabic, the Quran recitation role and Islamic studies. With no subject yet backed by a strong network, whoever joins now helps build the circle that learners across Banjarmasin can lean on, in whichever of the six roles fits your skills.
Questions from teacher applicants in Banjarmasin
Is there a subject Arabi already has enough teachers for in Banjarmasin?
Not yet. Whether you teach recitation, tahfidz or tahsin, or calligraphy, Arabic or Islamic studies, the group of Arabi teachers in Banjarmasin is small. So put forward the field you know most deeply. A teacher in Banjarmasin Utara who handles tahsin as well as khat Riqah, say, should mention each skill, because either would fill a gap in this city.
My home is in Banjarmasin Barat. Does that count against me?
It counts in your favour. Banjarmasin Timur, Banjarmasin Utara and Banjarmasin Tengah are where most of our teachers in this city have their homes, which leaves Banjarmasin Barat and Banjarmasin Selatan thinly covered. Someone living there gives us a presence we lack in that district. How soon a student in Banjarmasin Barat is matched with you is something we cannot tell you in advance, and Arabi App lets you teach beyond your district meanwhile.
Do I need a link to Masjid Sultan Suriansyah or Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin to be accepted?
You do not. Masjid Sultan Suriansyah and Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin are names Banjarmasin is known for, and they appear on this page for that reason alone. Arabi is not partnered with them and no lesson of ours is held there. A teacher from Pekapuran or Pemurus with no tie to any mosque is judged the same way as anyone else in Banjarmasin: on knowledge of the subject and on experience of teaching it.
With so few teachers in Banjarmasin, will I earn a steady income?
We would be misleading you if we said yes. Teachers being few in Banjarmasin describes our own team; it says nothing about how many lessons will come your way in Kelayan, Pemurus or anywhere else. Payment follows each session you have taught, the figure is not made public, and no monthly total is guaranteed. Raise the question with us during your application if it will decide whether you join.
Which Banjarmasin neighbourhoods would I be asked to travel to?
Only the ones you tell us you can manage. The areas we work with in Banjarmasin include Kayu Tangi, Sungai Andai, Kelayan, Teluk Dalam, Pasar Lama, Pekapuran and Pemurus, besides the districts from Banjarmasin Barat to Banjarmasin Timur. You might be glad to visit some of them and prefer to meet students from the others on Arabi App. Give us your own list when you apply and we will keep to it.
