EPQ Modern Greek tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Modern Greek at EPQ.
Modern Greek is offered at GCSE and A-level (Edexcel and OCR have run it; provision can shift) and is taken predominantly by heritage speakers from British Greek and Greek Cypriot families. The cohort usually has strong oral skills but needs work on the formal written register, on the script (the polytonic vs monotonic question rarely matters at this level; monotonic is standard), and on the grammar precision exam papers reward. The Cypriot dialect/Standard Modern Greek distinction can show up in oral exams. Look for native fluency in Standard Modern Greek and explicit experience with the specific UK board the student is sitting.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
