Kader (tony) B
I have been tutoring Russian for the last 25 years.
I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks.Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level. When I prepare...

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 wants to study Modern Languages at the University of Birmingham. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our A-Level Russian tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements and interview preparation for competitive courses at top universities like the University of Birmingham.
Russian isn't offered at my child's school in Birmingham. Can a tutor cover the entire GCSE or A-Level syllabus?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our experienced Russian tutors can guide your child through the entire curriculum for their chosen exam board, ensuring they cover every topic needed to achieve a fantastic grade.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect fit. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much do online Russian tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You'll find the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden costs.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child realises they can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief grows naturally.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like Russian?
Not at all! While we have experts for everything from primary school Maths to university-level study, you can also find tutors for hobbies and professional skills like learning the guitar, coding, or public speaking.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you should see a boost in your child's confidence and understanding within the first few sessions. In fact, 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help my child if they are a complete beginner?
Of course. Our tutors love working with enthusiastic beginners, guiding them through the basics like the Cyrillic alphabet and simple conversations to build a strong and confident foundation in the language.
How do online lessons actually work?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of session times, including evenings and weekends, to fit around your family's commitments.
