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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Leicester. Can a tutor help with their application?
Yes, absolutely. While tutors don't write personal statements, they can help your child demonstrate their passion and proficiency in Russian. This provides brilliant, tangible evidence of their dedication and unique skills, which can make their university application stand out.
Since Russian isn't taught at my child's school in Leicester, can a tutor help them work towards a GCSE or A-Level?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the national curriculum and can guide your child through the entire syllabus for Russian GCSE or A-Level. They can help your child prepare to sit the exam as a private candidate, ensuring they have the knowledge and confidence to succeed.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. Many tutors also have short introductory videos, which are a great way for you and your child to get a feel for their personality and teaching style.
How much do online Russian tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just 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 tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an ID check and have an up-to-date DBS or background check before they can teach on our platform.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new craft, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
My child has never had a tutor before. What if they are nervous?
That's completely normal, and our tutors understand this. They are chosen for being friendly and approachable, and their first priority is to make your child feel comfortable and at ease. The one-to-one setting helps build a strong, supportive relationship where your child will feel confident to ask questions.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
A lack of confidence can often be the biggest barrier to learning. One-to-one tuition provides a safe space for your child to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. As they start to master new concepts with their tutor's guidance, you'll see their self-belief grow.
How long will it take for my child to make progress?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Most parents find that regular weekly lessons are the most effective way to see real progress. Your tutor will work with you to set clear goals and track your child's improvement over time.
