Higher Romanian tutors

1 UK tutor who teach Romanian at Higher.

Romanian is offered at GCSE (AQA), and the cohort is overwhelmingly heritage speakers: children of post-2007 Romanian and Moldovan migrants consolidating their formal written Romanian for an extra qualification. Tutoring needs reflect that: oral fluency is rarely the issue; spelling, formal register, grammar precision (cases, verb conjugation, articles), and exam-paper technique are. Look for tutors with native Romanian, explicit UK-spec familiarity, 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.
