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 is aiming for a top university like LSE or UCL. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students with their applications. They can focus on developing the high-level analytical and grammatical skills needed to achieve an A* at A-Level, which is often crucial for competitive courses at institutions like LSE, UCL, and Oxbridge.
We live in Marylebone, how does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers the best of both worlds. You get access to the UK's top Russian specialists, not just those who live locally. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection. It provides complete flexibility, fitting lessons around school, activities, and family life in Marylebone without any travel time.
How can online tutoring help my child turn conversational Russian into a top A-Level grade?
Our tutors specialise in this. They focus on the specific requirements of the A-Level syllabus, teaching precise grammar, sophisticated vocabulary, and the literary analysis skills needed to write high-scoring essays. They build on your child's fluency and give it the academic structure required for an A*.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first Russian tutor?
We understand that the right tutor-student relationship is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, like preparing for their A-Level oral exam or analysing a particular text.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does a Russian tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's growing confidence and improved marks on their schoolwork will also be a clear sign of their success.
Can a tutor help if my child is finding a specific Russian author difficult?
Yes, that's a perfect use for one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling to analyse the works of Pushkin or Tolstoy, for example, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down the key themes, characters, and language to build their understanding and confidence.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed, like an interactive whiteboard, to make lessons engaging and effective.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How much does a Russian tutor cost?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! While we're here to help with Russian, your child could also learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the piano or guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development alongside their academic studies.
