How Learning Russian Can Make Your Child's University Application Shine
For competitive courses at Russell Group universities, admissions tutors look for more than just good grades. Learning a less common language like Russian shows dedication, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to step outside the standard curriculum. It's a skill that demonstrates your child's commitment and helps their UCAS personal statement stand out from the crowd, opening doors to exciting degrees and future careers.

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
Local schools in the New Forest don't offer Russian. Can a tutor really help my child compete for a place at a top Russell Group university?
Absolutely. An experienced Russian tutor can provide a structured learning path from beginner to advanced level, giving your child a unique and impressive skill that admissions tutors value highly. It demonstrates commitment and academic curiosity, helping their UCAS application stand out significantly.
My child attends Brockenhurst College and wants to add Russian to their profile. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, many students use our tutors to learn a subject that isn't available at their school or college. A tutor can create a bespoke learning plan to help your child develop their Russian language skills, which can be a fantastic addition to their academic profile and personal statement.
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 introductory video and messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. It's all about finding the right personality fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Russian tutor?
We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is key. 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 does online Russian tutoring cost in the New Forest?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checked. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
My child is a complete beginner. Is tutoring suitable for them?
Yes, one-to-one tutoring is perfect for beginners. The tutor can go at your child's pace, building a strong foundation from the very beginning with the alphabet and basic grammar, ensuring they feel confident and supported as they learn.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for making steady progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a frequency that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How can tutoring help if my child feels anxious about learning a new language?
A one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to learn without the pressure of a classroom. Our tutors are skilled at building confidence, celebrating small wins, and tailoring their approach to make learning feel positive and manageable.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because lessons are one-to-one, you'll also see their confidence grow as they start to master new vocabulary and grammar. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
While we're here to support academic goals, we also have tutors for a wide range of hobbies and skills! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their passions.
