Ekaterina is friendly and encouraging and her lessons always feel lively and personal. She brings in real-life examples and cultural context that make learning the language much more interesting! I really enjoy how she mixes conversation practice with grammar and uses different resources like online quizzes, short texts, and discussions. I always come away feeling like I’ve learned something useful! :)

Elina K
Elina's lessons have been very helpful to me for multiple reasons. She's helped me a lot with improving my vocabulary, speaking confidence, and grammar. We've focused equally on all of these things and this has me progressing evenly in all areas.
Elina is very friendly and easy-going. This creates a positive environment where it's easy to learn. She's also a native Russian speaker, and so her understanding of Russian is obviously very advanced. Her English is great too, which makes things easier for a native English speaker like me, as she can translate Russian into English easily.

Brilliant Russian tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends a competitive school in Epsom. Can a tutor match that academic level?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are subject-matter experts, university lecturers, or graduates from top UK universities. You can view each tutor's qualifications on their profile to find the perfect match to challenge and support your high-achieving child.
We're aiming for a top university. Can a tutor help with the UCAS application side of things?
While their main focus is the curriculum, many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students frame their studies for UCAS applications. They can help your child articulate how learning a challenging language like Russian has developed their skills, strengthening their personal statement.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by their experience with the A-Level syllabus and read detailed bios and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're the right fit for your child's goals.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's live video chat, a shared whiteboard for working through problems together, and the ability to upload and review documents like past papers or essays. It's a secure and effective way to learn.
How much does a Russian tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the Russian A-Level, like the oral exam?
Yes. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely tailored. Your child's tutor can focus sessions specifically on building conversational fluency, perfecting pronunciation, or preparing for the themes in the speaking exam.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. They'll work with your child to set clear goals and track their improvement, so you can see the positive impact tutoring is having on their confidence and understanding.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can find and message tutors straight away. Many tutors reply within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked in for as early as this week. It's designed to be quick and easy to get the support your child needs.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutors for a huge range of pursuits! From academic subjects for GCSEs and A-Levels to learning an instrument like the piano, coding in Python, or even preparing for the 11+ exams.
How much does a Russian tutor cost?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually ideal for keeping your child engaged and focused. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as many are flexible with session length.
