Affordable Tuition

Yes! All our tutors and centre managers undergo an in depth Arka training programme before they start teaching for us. This is then further enhanced by ongoing training and performance evaluations, ensuring our team maintain the high standards our members expect. Our training has been devised by experienced education experts.

At Arka we have used our decades of experience working in supplementary education to identify the best curricula from around the world. For example our core Maths programme is based on the Singapore Maths approach, widely regarded as being the gold standard in improving children's performance in Maths. Where we can't find the right resources we have developed our own materials. For our core English programme we have devised the Arka Treasury, which is a series of bespoke lessons designed to encourage a love of learning English while improving each child's English skills. We believe the combination of using the best available existing curricular with our own custom designed materials ensures our programmes provide the optimal approach for each child.

We're open 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday. We open from 11am to 8pm Monday - Thursday, 9am - 6pm on Friday and 10am - 4pm on Saturday.

We provide tutoring solely for children aged 6 to 11. We believe this focus ensures we deliver to a consistently high standard for our students.

We have two teaching plans. Plan 1 is £125 per month and allows students to come for 1 hour per week. Plan 2 is £165 per month and allows students to come for 2 hours per week.

Absolutely! Each child follows their own bespoke learning plan and works at a level and pace that is appropriate for them. Dedicated and trained tutors support students through their learning plan on an individual basis. The student to tutor ratio is a maximum of 5:1.

Yes! Our centres are registered with Ofsted on the Voluntary Childcare Register. This means we can offer Tax Free Childcare to eligible families.

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.

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.

Yes! If you're away and therefore unable to attend we can pause your subscription for up to 1 month.
