What Families Say

Rated 5 stars by over 200 families across Ilford and East London.

"From the very first assessment, Ark showed us exactly where my daughter needed support and built a plan around that. What struck me most was how clearly the tutors communicated with us as parents — we never felt in the dark. She passed her 11 Plus and secured a grammar school place."

Anjali Sharma
Anjali SharmaParent · 11 Plus

"The small class sizes at Ark are the real difference. My son had always been lost in large groups at school — at Ark he actually puts his hand up, asks questions, and gets answers. His confidence has transformed and his results at school have improved significantly."

Sara Ahmed
Sara AhmedParent · Secondary

"We have had two children through Ark — one for 11 Plus and one for GCSE. The quality and consistency has been exceptional both times. The no-fixed-contract policy shows that they are confident in what they deliver. We have recommended them to many families and will continue to do so."

Liyana Patel

"What sets Ark apart is that they treat every child as an individual. The free assessment at the start was thorough — they told us things about our daughter's learning gaps that her school had never identified. The tutors genuinely care about the children they teach."
