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 aiming for UCL's School of Slavonic Studies. Can we find a tutor with relevant experience?
Absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors are university graduates or specialists in the language. You can view each tutor's profile to see their qualifications and experience, and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals for university applications.
My child is a heritage speaker but struggles with formal writing. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common reason for parents to seek a tutor. Our Russian tutors are experienced in bridging the gap between conversational fluency and the academic skills needed for exams. They can provide targeted exercises on grammar, sentence structure, and essay writing to help your child excel.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session.
How much do online Russian tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
What is your First Lesson Guarantee?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple and easy to use. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a document-sharing function. This means your child and their tutor can work through grammar exercises, analyse texts, and practice writing in real-time, just like in person.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for focused learning. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your chosen tutor, as some may offer different session lengths.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to feel much more prepared and positive about their exams.
We live in North-West London. Why choose online tutoring?
Online tutoring offers incredible flexibility and choice. Instead of being limited to tutors in your immediate area, you can connect with the best Russian specialists from across the UK. This saves you travel time and allows you to schedule lessons conveniently around your busy family life.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic goals in subjects like Russian, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, playing the piano, or even learning a new language for fun.
How does the online classroom work?
For GCSEs, a tutor can make a huge difference. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum your child finds tricky, from verb conjugations to exam technique. Our data shows that we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
