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's school in Hastings doesn't offer Russian GCSE or A-Level. Can a tutor cover the entire curriculum?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in teaching the full AQA, Edexcel, and OCR curriculums from scratch. They can guide your child through every module, from literature to grammar, to ensure they are fully prepared for their exams.
We're hoping our child can apply for Slavonic Studies at a top university. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes. Many of our language tutors are university graduates themselves, some from top institutions with renowned language departments. You can view each tutor's profile to see their academic background and find someone who understands the application process and what's needed to build a strong personal statement.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile with a short introductory video, student reviews, and information about their experience. You can filter by subject level and availability, and we recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key to your child's success. 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 much does online Russian tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
My child has lost confidence in their language skills. How can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged. Tutors can break down tricky topics and celebrate small wins, helping your child feel capable and motivated again.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and intuitive, so your child can focus on learning.
Can my child get help with both written and spoken Russian?
Definitely. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be completely customised. Whether your child needs to practise their accent and conversational skills or focus on essay writing and grammar, their tutor can create a plan that covers all aspects of the language.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor. Most students have one session per week, but this is completely flexible. You can book more lessons during school holidays or in the run-up to an exam, whatever works best for your child.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects? My child is also interested in learning guitar.
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic goals like passing a Russian A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from playing the guitar and singing to coding and public speaking.
My child has lost confidence in their language skills. How can a tutor help?
We know that life happens! You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
