How much do online Russian tutors cost?

The price of Russian tutors varies based on their experience, qualifications, and location. You can browse our tutors' profiles to see their individual rates, starting from as little as £15 per hour, ensuring you can find an expert to fit your budget.

I am a complete beginner. Can I still find a tutor?

Absolutely! Many of our tutors specialise in teaching absolute beginners. They are experts at building a strong foundation, from learning the Cyrillic alphabet to speaking your first sentences with confidence.

How does Tutorful vet its Russian tutors?

We take quality seriously. Our strict vetting process means only 1 in 8 applicants is accepted. We verify their ID, review their teaching experience and qualifications, and conduct interviews to ensure they are not only knowledgeable but also passionate and effective teachers.

Are the tutors native Russian speakers?

We have a wide range of tutors, including many native Russian speakers and highly-qualified non-native speakers who have achieved fluency. You can check each tutor's profile for details on their background and expertise.

How long will it take to learn Russian?

Learning a language is a personal journey and depends on your starting level, goals, and the amount of time you can dedicate. A tutor will help you learn more efficiently by creating a personalised plan to help you reach your goals faster.

Can a tutor help me prepare for a Russian language exam?

Yes. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for specific qualifications, such as the Test of Russian as a Foreign Language (TORFL). You can message tutors directly to discuss your exam preparation needs.

How do I find the right Russian tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by price, availability, and speciality. Reading tutor profiles, watching their introductory videos, and checking student reviews are great ways to find your perfect match. You can also message them before booking.

What can I expect from my first online Russian lesson?

Your first lesson is typically a chance for the tutor to assess your current level, understand your learning style, and discuss your goals. It's a relaxed session designed to build a rapport and create a customised lesson plan for you.

How flexible is scheduling with a tutor?

Very flexible. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions one at a time. This allows you to schedule lessons around your work, studies, or other commitments without being locked into a fixed schedule.
