GCSE Modern Greek tutors
3 UK tutors who teach Modern Greek at GCSE.
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.
GCSEs are sat in Year 11 (age 15-16), with most students taking 8-10 subjects. They're the load-bearing UK school qualification: the 9-1 graded exams that drive sixth-form admission, apprenticeship eligibility, and (via maths and English at grade 4 or 5) university and many job prerequisites. Tutoring demand peaks here. The biggest grade gains tend to come from exam-paper technique rather than further content. Students often know more than they show. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, CIE) diverge on content and assessment, so tutor familiarity with the specific spec is meaningful in most subjects.
