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.

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.

Our free trial 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 trial session we will set your child some Maths and English materials to work through. We aim to make our sessions relaxed and enjoyable to give children an authentic experience of an actual tutoring session at Arka. At the end of the trial session we will give you a high level overview of your child's level and our recommended starting point for their learning programme at Arka.
