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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to UCL's School of Slavonic Studies. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in university applications. They can provide targeted support for A-Level Russian to help your child achieve the required A*, and some can even offer guidance on personal statements and interview techniques, giving them the best possible chance of securing their place.
We live in Islington. How does online tutoring help us?
Online tutoring gives your family access to the best Russian specialists from across the UK, not just those who live locally. For busy Islington families, it means no travel time and the flexibility to schedule lessons around school, clubs, and other commitments, making it a convenient and effective way to get the expert support your child needs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child get an A* in A-Level Russian?
A great tutor provides truly personalised support. They can identify the specific areas holding your child back—whether it's exam technique, essay writing, or complex grammar—and create a tailored plan to turn those weaknesses into strengths, building the skills and confidence needed for a top grade.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, including their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction video and sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's a great way to find the perfect match.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are 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 sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online Russian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
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 all the tools needed for an engaging lesson, like an interactive whiteboard.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor adapts to their pace and celebrates their progress, students often feel more capable and their self-esteem grows, which has a positive impact on their schoolwork.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which most students find effective. Most families book one session per week, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit your needs.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Russian?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with subjects like Russian, Maths, and English for their GCSEs and A-Levels, you can also find tutors for musical instruments like guitar, coding languages like Python, or even support for university degrees. It's all about finding the right person to help your child learn.
How much does online Russian tutoring cost?
You can get started very quickly. Simply browse tutors, send messages to your favourites to check their availability, and you can often have your first lesson booked within 24-48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello first.
