Higher Romanian tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Romanian at Higher.
Romanian has no GCSE, iGCSE or A-level. No English exam board offers it, so unlike Polish or Urdu there is no exam route to prepare for, and tutoring here is heritage-literacy work instead. The cohort is overwhelmingly children of post-2014 Romanian and Moldovan migrants, where oral fluency is rarely the issue and written Romanian is: spelling and diacritics, formal register, and grammar precision (cases, verb conjugation, the enclitic article). Families come for writing that holds up with relatives back home, for schooling if the family returns, or to keep the language from thinning out across a generation. Look for tutors with native Romanian and experience teaching heritage speakers rather than ab initio learners.
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.
