KS3 Romanian tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Romanian at KS3.
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.
Key Stage 3 covers Years 7, 8 and 9 (ages 11-14), the first three years of secondary school, before GCSE choices and content begin. It's a quieter period for tutoring than KS2 or GCSE, but the foundations laid (or missed) at KS3 drive GCSE outcomes more than students or parents usually realise. Tutoring helps most where confidence has dropped at the primary-secondary transition (especially in maths, where the algebra step lands here) or where a student is ahead and under-stretched. The 13+ for independent-school transfer is sat in Year 8, which adds a separate layer of preparation for that cohort.
