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's school in Jarrow doesn't offer Russian. Can a tutor help them study for it as a private candidate?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students through the entire GCSE or A-Level Russian curriculum, preparing them to sit the exams as a private candidate. They can cover the full syllabus and provide the structured support they're missing from school.
Can a tutor help my child get the grades for competitive universities like Newcastle or Durham?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the top grades needed for entry into leading universities. They can focus on the specific requirements of the A-Level curriculum, helping your child develop the advanced language skills and analytical abilities that admissions tutors at places like Newcastle and Durham look for.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can filter tutors by their experience with specific levels, like GCSE or A-Level, read reviews from other parents, and even watch short introduction videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing resources, and a document editor. It’s a personal, one-to-one space where your child can learn and ask questions with confidence, just like they would in person.
How much does online Russian tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices can vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily see each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a rigorous selection process, and we verify their identity and background check them before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking Russian?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, judgement-free space for your child to practise speaking. Unlike a busy classroom, their tutor can give them their full attention, gently correct mistakes, and build their confidence through conversation tailored to their level.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually a great length of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to fit your child's schedule and concentration span.
Can we get help with a specific exam board for A-Level Russian?
Of course. Many tutors list the specific exam boards they specialise in (like AQA or Edexcel) on their profiles. You can find someone who has direct experience with the curriculum and exam style your child will be facing, ensuring their preparation is as relevant as possible.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child’s progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going and what they're planning for future lessons. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of pursuits, not just school subjects! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even pick up a new hobby like chess, you can find an expert tutor to help them.
