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 !!

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.
Can a tutor help my child get their Russian skills recognised for a UCAS application to universities like Durham or Newcastle?
Absolutely. A tutor can help your child structure their learning, prepare for proficiency exams if they wish, and articulate their language skills powerfully on their personal statement. This demonstrates initiative and passion, which are highly valued by competitive universities.
My child's school in Newcastle doesn't offer Russian. Can a tutor help them study for a qualification independently?
Yes, many students use our tutors to study for qualifications like GCSEs or A-Levels in subjects their school doesn't offer. A tutor can provide a structured curriculum, expert guidance, and exam preparation to help your child achieve a formal qualification.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What happens if we don't click with the first Russian tutor we try?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience. 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 do online Russian tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with rates clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an effective lesson, including a two-way whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a secure and simple way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence in a new language?
Definitely. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to practise speaking, ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and build confidence at their own pace. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews often highlights this boost in self-belief.
What if my child has never studied a language with a different alphabet before?
That's no problem at all. Tutors are experienced in helping absolute beginners. They can start with the very basics, like the Cyrillic alphabet and simple pronunciation, making the language feel approachable and fun from the start.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child learn something else, like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn practical skills like coding, a new musical instrument like the guitar, or even explore hobbies like art and design. There's something for every interest.
Do we have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or minimum commitments. You have complete flexibility. You can book lessons week by week or book a block if you prefer, whatever works best for your family's schedule and budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
