Beyond just vocabulary lists, they'll develop critical thinking by analysing Russian literature and build resilience by mastering complex grammar like the case system. These are the very skills that help students thrive in their degree and future career.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child's college in Basingstoke doesn't offer Russian. Can a tutor help them achieve a GCSE or A-Level?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students through entire GCSE and A-Level Russian curricula as private candidates. They can create a structured study plan, cover all the required topics, and provide the expert support your child needs to gain a formal qualification.
We're hoping our child applies to competitive universities like Southampton or UCL. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. Many of our Russian tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and understand what admissions tutors are looking for. They can help your child develop the linguistic skills and cultural understanding that make a UCAS application stand out, turning their interest in Russian into a significant academic advantage.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Russian tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, 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 read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you and your child can talk to them first to ensure they're a good fit before booking a lesson.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Russian, or are other skills available?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even take up a new hobby. There's something for everyone.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
How much do online Russian lessons 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 contracts.
My child is a bit shy. How can an online tutor help them build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. Tutors are skilled at building rapport and celebrating small wins, which can make a huge difference to a child's self-belief and willingness to participate.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's easy to use and designed to make learning engaging and effective.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most students have one lesson a week to ensure steady progress, but you can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones to fit your schedule. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom works directly in your web browser, so there's no special software to download.
Is Tutorful a trusted platform?
Yes, we're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, so you can feel confident you're in safe hands.
