Friendly, patient Russian tutor
I am a friendly, patient tutor of languages and music. I teach French and Russian (which I’ve studied to master’s level at the University of Bath, and to undergraduate level at the University of Oxford) and Latin and Classical Greek (which I took to A level equivalent). I also teach guitar (acoustic and electric), electric bass, and drums, which I’ve played semi-professionally in rock, folk and jazz bands, as well as music theory, which I think can be helpful for any musical style.I have several years’ experience of tutoring languages and music at a variety of levels from beginner onwards.

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.

Great lessons for Russian beginners ! Ciaran understands exactly how I a French and English speaking person could interpret certain words and specificities of the Russian language. That helps me understand better and makes the lesson enjoyable !!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study Russian at Durham University. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors are university-level experts, with some even having experience of the admissions process for top universities like Durham. They can help your child build the strong academic foundation and passion for the subject that admissions teams look for.
Russian isn't offered at my child's school in Durham. Can a tutor cover a full GCSE or A-Level curriculum?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can create a structured learning plan that covers an entire curriculum, from the basics to advanced topics, ensuring your child has the knowledge they need to sit the exam as a private candidate if they wish.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is why we offer 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 I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to find the perfect match.
How much does online Russian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using our search filters. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. This personalised attention helps them grasp difficult topics at their own pace, leading to 'lightbulb moments' that build lasting confidence.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be easily arranged with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can tutoring help if my child is a complete beginner in Russian?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in working with students of all levels. They can start with the very basics, like the Cyrillic alphabet and simple greetings, building a strong and enjoyable foundation for learning the language.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find tricky, and how they like to learn. It's a relaxed way to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.
Are the tutors background-checked?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic work like Russian, Maths, and English, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from playing the guitar to coding in Python.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
