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

We live in Cardiff, but Russian isn't offered at my child's school. How can a tutor help them get a qualification?

This is a common challenge, and it's exactly where online tutoring shines. A tutor can provide the complete curriculum needed for a GCSE or A-Level in Russian, guiding your child through the syllabus and preparing them for the exams as a private candidate. They provide the structure and expertise that schools can't.

My child is hoping to apply to Cardiff University. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their university applications. A strong A-Level in a unique subject like Russian can be a real asset, and a tutor can help your child build the knowledge and confidence to aim for top grades.

What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have 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.

How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat for free, which is a great way to discuss your child's goals and see if it's a good fit before booking.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.

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 subscriptions.

How do the online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in their abilities?

Definitely. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor is one of the best ways to build confidence. Our tutors create a positive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, helping them to feel capable and motivated again.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! While we're here to help with academic goals in Russian, your child could also learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language just for fun. We're here to support all kinds of learning.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and we process the payment automatically 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You'll never need to handle cash or deal with awkward payment conversations.

How do the online lessons work?

Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including native speakers, university language graduates, and qualified teachers. You can see all their qualifications and experience listed on their profiles to help you make an informed choice.
