KS3 Romanian tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Romanian at KS3.
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.
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.
