The joy of Arka
After many years running one of the UK’s leading tutoring organisations, we strongly believe that tutoring is not only the most joyful way to learn but also delivers the most powerful results. We believe it’s our responsibility to show you how your child is performing; encourage them to feel confident about their abilities; and lead them to greater success in the foundational subjects of Maths and English.

What curriculum do you use?At Arka we have used our decades of experience working in supplementary education to identify the best curricula to build each child's skills. Our core Maths and English programmes are chosen to encourage a love of learning whilst also laying the foundations for future success. Our Maths programmes is fully aligned to the UK national curriculum and is based on the Singapore Maths mastery approach, widely regarded as being the gold standard in improving children's performance in Maths. For 11+ we deliver a programme that is specifically targeted towards GL Assessment exams, which is the assessment provider for the Bucks 11+. This programme covers the key areas of focus for the 11+: Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Are you Ofsted registered? Do you offer Tax Free Childcare?Yes! Our centres are registered with Ofsted on the Voluntary Childcare Register. This means we can offer Tax Free Childcare to eligible families. We are also able to accept Student Childcare Grants.

What happens in the free taster lesson?Our free assessment sessions give us a chance to see if Arka will be a suitable environment for your child to learn in and, more importantly, give you and your child the opportunity to meet our team, see our centre and decide if it's the right place for you. During the assessment we will set your child some Maths and English materials to work through. We aim to make our assessment sessions relaxed and enjoyable to give children an authentic experience of an actual tutoring session at Arka. At the end of the assessment we will give you a high level overview of your child's level and our recommended starting point for their learning programme at Arka. Once signed up, children are assessed during each centre and also undertake more comprehensive assessments every few months to track their progress.

How long are classes?Classes are one hour long, allowing students either to spend an entire hour on one subject or split the class into two 30 minute sessions, allowing them to cover Maths and English.
