IB Romanian tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Romanian at IB.
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.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
