National 5 Urdu tutors

Urdu is offered at GCSE and A-level (AQA) and is taken predominantly by heritage speakers from British Pakistani and broader South Asian families. The cohort usually has strong listening and speaking but variable reading and writing in the Nastaliq script. Tutoring helps most with literacy, formal register, and the grammar precision that exam mark schemes reward. At A-level, the literary and cultural content (poetry, ghazal, Partition-era literature) requires explicit teaching even for fluent speakers. The Urdu/Hindi overlap is real but not total. Written script and formal vocabulary diverge. Look for native fluency, Nastaliq literacy, and UK-spec experience.
