asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to universities like Glasgow or St Andrews. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. A specialist Russian tutor can help your child build a deep, demonstrable passion for the subject that goes beyond the school curriculum. This is exactly what top universities look for in an application, helping them stand out from other candidates.

We're in Dumfries and can't find local support for Russian Highers. Can Tutorful help?

Yes, this is exactly why online tutoring is such a great solution. We connect your child with expert Russian tutors from across the UK who have experience with the Scottish curriculum, so their location in Dumfries is no longer a barrier to their ambitions.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child clicks with.

How much does online Russian tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.

What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a 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 you make sure the tutors are safe and professional?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, to ensure they are of the highest standard.

Of course! Our tutors love working with students at all levels, from absolute beginners learning the Cyrillic alphabet for the first time to advanced students preparing for exams. Lessons will be tailored to your child's starting point.

How can a tutor help if my child lacks confidence?

One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling shy or judged. Our tutors are skilled at celebrating small wins and building self-belief step by step.

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is designed to be easy to use and has features like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging.

Can my child learn things other than school subjects?

Yes, definitely. We have expert tutors who can help your child explore a wide range of interests and skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and public speaking.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Typically, lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.
