Find a tutor Veronika R
Veronika is the perfect Russian tutor. She tutored our 18year old from 0 to A* ability in 6 months. He entered the A-level exams with confidence and ability, which was a remarkable achievement in such a short period of time.
She was firm and highly focused, and yet patient and understanding.
We could not have asked for a better tutor and would recommend her without hesitation.

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.
