Higher Modern Greek tutors
3 UK tutors who teach Modern Greek at Higher.
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.
Scottish Higher is the standard Scottish sixth-year qualification, sat in S5 (age 16-17), and is the main route into Scottish university applications (which run on a different cycle from English UCAS). Most students take five Highers in S5, with strong applicants sitting another year of Advanced Highers in S6. The qualification is administered by Qualifications Scotland (formerly the SQA, renamed February 2026), with coursework and examination components. Tutoring helps most with subject content, with the coursework write-ups, and with exam-paper technique under SQA mark schemes. Match the tutor to SQA experience specifically. Higher is not interchangeable with A-level, despite frequently being compared.
