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 top independent school like St Paul's. Can a tutor help them secure an A* for an Oxbridge application?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors are specialists in preparing students for the rigorous demands of A-Levels and university entrance. They can provide the focused support needed to polish essay technique and deepen literary analysis, helping your child build an academic profile that stands out to top universities like Oxford and Cambridge.
We're aiming for a place at UCL or LSE. How can a Russian tutor strengthen my child's university application?
Achieving a top grade in Russian demonstrates not only linguistic skill but also cultural understanding and analytical ability—qualities highly valued by competitive universities like UCL and LSE. A tutor can help your child secure that Grade 9 at GCSE or A* at A-Level, making their application significantly more compelling.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's specific goals. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child speaks Russian well but struggles with formal grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are experts at bridging that gap. They can create a tailored plan that focuses specifically on mastering complex grammar rules, sentence structure, and the formal vocabulary required for exams, turning fluency into academic accuracy.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can start teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much do online Russian tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of qualification, giving you the flexibility to find an expert who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for focused learning. However, you can discuss your child's needs directly with your tutor to arrange session lengths that work best for them.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their results improve is the best indicator of success.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE and A-Level Russian?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the specific requirements of the UK curriculum, including exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. You can see their qualifications and experience on their profiles.
How much do online Russian tutors cost?
Absolutely. We believe in learning for life. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new hobby, you can find expert tutors for a wide range of skills on Tutorful.
