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 is hoping to apply to the University of St Andrews. Can a Russian tutor help their application?
Absolutely. A Russian tutor can help your child develop a deeper understanding of the subject that goes beyond the curriculum. This can be invaluable for writing a compelling personal statement and preparing for interviews, helping them demonstrate the academic curiosity that universities like St Andrews look for.
With so many high-achieving pupils in Dundee, how can a tutor ensure my child stands out?
A tutor provides one-to-one attention that isn't possible in a classroom. They can focus on your child’s specific goals, helping them to build a unique skill set and a level of subject mastery that makes their UCAS application truly distinctive among their peers.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can read tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to make sure you find someone you're happy with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 do online Russian tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and we personally interview every single one. We're very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
My child has never studied Russian before. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with students of all abilities, from complete beginners to those preparing for advanced exams. A tutor can create a personalised plan to help your child learn the fundamentals and build their confidence from their very first lesson.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with Python, or even learn a new craft, you can find brilliant, passionate tutors to help them explore their interests.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy or judged. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to feel much more positive about their abilities.
How long will it take for my child to see progress?
Every child learns differently, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring often leads to progress much faster than in a classroom setting. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you'll be charged automatically 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can view your payment history and manage your details at any time from your dashboard.
