GCSE Greek · United Kingdom

GCSE Greek — the reading, writing and grammar half, practised properly

The Edexcel GCSE is four papers: listening, speaking, reading and writing. This platform trains two of them thoroughly and the grammar underneath all four — free at A1, on your phone, whenever the revision actually happens.

Free · 3 minutes · no card

Reading unfamiliar Greek, graded

The reading paper puts text in front of you that you have not seen. Sixty myths and dozens of graded readings do exactly that, with vocabulary support that tapers as you improve — so unfamiliar stops meaning unmanageable.

Writing that gets marked, not just counted

131 extended-writing prompts with feedback on what you actually wrote. Writing is the paper most students revise least, because marking your own is impossible.

Grammar for heritage speakers specifically

Most GCSE Greek candidates in London speak Greek or Cypriot Greek at home and lose marks on accents, spelling and register rather than on vocabulary. 91 notes with drills target precisely that gap.

What this covers

  • Reading paper — 67 graded texts and myths, plus thousands of comprehension items across six levels.
  • Writing paper — 131 prompts with marked feedback, from short messages to extended responses.
  • Grammar and vocabulary — 91 notes with drills and 49 decks — accents, spelling and register, where heritage candidates lose marks.

What it does not cover yet

  • Listening paper — There are no native recordings yet, so we do not train it. Use your school’s past-paper audio for that.
  • Speaking paper — Only through one-to-one lessons — it needs a person, not a platform.

Two of the four papers, plus the grammar underneath all of them. A1 and the mock exams are free, so you can judge the fit before paying.

What you get

Free at A1, free mock examsThe whole first level and all six timed exams cost nothing.
Higher tier ≈ B1Foundation sits nearer A2. The free placement test takes three minutes and is more reliable than guessing.
Speaking practice with a native teacherFor the speaking paper there is no substitute for a person. One-to-one lessons run from Geneva, one hour ahead of the UK — most evenings work.

Questions GCSE Greek students and parents ask

Is this an official Edexcel or Pearson resource?

No. There is no affiliation with Pearson or Edexcel and none is implied. This is independent Greek practice built around CEFR levels; the GCSE specification and past papers come from your school or Pearson directly.

Which papers does it really help with?

Reading and writing, thoroughly, plus the grammar and vocabulary that sit under all four. Not listening — we have no native audio yet. Speaking only through the live lessons. We would rather you know that before subscribing than after.

My child speaks Cypriot Greek at home. Is that a problem?

It is an advantage for comprehension and a known trap for writing, since the exam is set in standard Modern Greek. The grammar notes are written in standard Greek throughout, which is exactly the correction most Greek-Cypriot candidates need.

We already go to a Greek community school in north London. Why add this?

Because a couple of hours a week is not where a GCSE is won or lost — the days in between are. This is designed to sit alongside community school, not replace it.

What does it cost?

A1 and all six mock exams are free forever. Full access is 8 CHF a month for one learner, 12 CHF for a family of four, cancellable in one click.
