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 hopes to apply to the University of Oxford. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their university applications. They can help your child deepen their subject knowledge, prepare for interviews, and articulate their passion for Russian in their personal statement, making their application as strong as possible.
With the high standards at local schools, how can a tutor help my child excel in Russian?
A private tutor provides one-to-one attention that isn't possible in a classroom. They can focus entirely on your child's specific challenges and goals, whether that's mastering complex grammar or analysing literature at a higher level, ensuring they have the support to not just keep up, but to get ahead.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're the right fit.
How much does an online Russian tutor in Oxford cost?
The price of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A typical lesson might involve practising conversational skills, working through past papers, or breaking down difficult grammatical concepts together.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in Russian?
Confidence comes from understanding. By creating a safe and encouraging space to ask questions, a tutor helps your child fill any knowledge gaps and master tricky topics. Seeing their own progress week after week is a huge confidence booster.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience, which is why we offer a 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 many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a regular weekly lesson to stay on top of their studies, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You and your child can communicate directly with the tutor through our messaging system. Tutors are always happy to provide feedback on your child's progress and discuss the focus of upcoming lessons.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Many parents find it's even more effective. Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. Plus, our interactive classroom and the ability to re-watch lessons make for a rich and convenient learning experience.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or develop their public speaking skills, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
