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 study languages at Newcastle or Lancaster. Can a tutor help with their university application?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors have experience guiding students through the UCAS process. They can help your child craft a compelling personal statement that showcases their passion for the subject and assist with interview preparation, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place.
Since our local schools don't offer Russian, can a tutor cover the entire A-Level or GCSE syllabus?
Yes. Our tutors are equipped to provide comprehensive support for the entire syllabus. They can act as your child's primary teacher for the subject, covering all the required topics, from grammar and translation to literature and cultural studies, ensuring they are fully prepared for their exams.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking a lesson to make sure you find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 much does online Russian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search accordingly. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles, so you can find brilliant support that works for your family.
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 the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Are your tutors properly checked and qualified?
Yes, your child's safety and quality of education are our top priorities. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How can I be sure my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you and your child see the progress being made. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. The one-to-one focus means the tutor can quickly identify areas for improvement and adapt their teaching to help your child succeed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different, like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new skill like coding, or even get help with a university-level course, we have expert tutors available to help them explore their passions.
Can a tutor help my child if they're a complete beginner in Russian?
Definitely. Our tutors love working with students at all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners. They can create a structured plan to introduce your child to the Cyrillic alphabet, basic grammar, and vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.
How can tutoring help build my child's confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a little one-to-one attention. In a private lesson, your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. This personalised support helps them overcome challenges, celebrate small wins, and feel much more capable and confident in their abilities.
Are your tutors properly checked and qualified?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. Most parents find that one session a week is ideal, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine.
