Live, Interactive — Not Pre-Recorded
Ark online tuition is not recorded video content or automated exercises. Every session is live, with a real tutor and a real class. Students interact with their tutor directly, ask questions, complete exercises in real time, and receive immediate feedback — exactly as they would in our Ilford centre.
We use an interactive whiteboard platform that allows tutors to write, draw, annotate, and share materials seamlessly. Weekly homework is set and marked through our learning platform, and parents receive the same progress reports as in-centre families.
Same curriculum as in-centre — not a reduced version
Same small group sizes — max 6 or 8–10 depending on programme

Parent Reviews
What Parents Say
Hear from families who use Ark's online tuition.
"We live outside Ilford so online was the obvious choice. What surprised me was how interactive the sessions were — my daughter's tutor writes on the board, sets exercises in real time, and answers questions just as she would in person. We've seen exactly the same progress."
Anjali SharmaParent · Online 11 Plus programme
"The flexibility of online has been brilliant — my son does his evening sessions from home after school and weekends when it suits us. Being able to switch between online and in-centre when we need to means we never miss a session."
Sara AhmedParent · Online GCSE programme
"I was sceptical about online tuition working for a Year 4 child but Ark proved me wrong. My daughter loves her Saturday session — she gets on the whiteboard, writes her answers, and her tutor corrects them immediately. The progress tests have shown consistent improvement every term."
Liyana PatelParent · Online Year 4 programme
"The no-commute aspect saves us an hour every session. But more importantly, the quality has been identical to what my son experienced in-centre. Same tutor, same materials, same homework — just from the living room. We have recommended Ark online to several friends."
Jasminder KaurParent · Switched from in-centre to online
