Ekaterina E
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.

Great lessons for Russian beginners ! Ciaran understands exactly how I a French and English speaking person could interpret certain words and specificities of the Russian language. That helps me understand better and makes the lesson enjoyable !!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's school in South Shields doesn't offer Russian. Can a tutor help them gain a formal qualification?
Absolutely. This is a common reason parents come to us. An experienced Russian tutor can create a structured plan to guide your child through the curriculum for qualifications like the IGCSE or A-Level, allowing them to sit the exam as a private candidate. This gives them a formal, recognised grade for their hard work.
We're aiming for a competitive university like Newcastle or Durham. How can a Russian tutor help?
Having a niche and challenging skill like Russian on a UCAS application can be a real differentiator. A tutor can help your child achieve a formal qualification, which significantly strengthens their academic profile. They can also help prepare them for university-style learning, building critical thinking and analytical skills that admissions tutors at top universities look for.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key, as it helps them feel motivated and enjoy their learning.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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.
How much does a Russian tutor in South Shields cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually 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 with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a full classroom. As they start to master new concepts and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows. Our tutors are experts at providing encouragement and celebrating small wins.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with Python coding, learn a new craft, or even get help with university applications, we have expert tutors available.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically 60 minutes long. Most families find that one session per week works well to build momentum and keep learning consistent, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.
Can we get help with specific things like conversational Russian or grammar?
Of course. The beauty of one-to-one tuition is that it's completely flexible. You can let the tutor know exactly what your child wants to focus on, whether it's mastering complex grammar rules, practicing their conversational skills, or preparing for a specific test.
