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 Scotland doesn't offer Russian. Can a tutor help them get an SQA qualification?
Yes, absolutely. This is a common challenge for many parents, and our tutors can help. They can create a structured learning plan that covers the entire SQA curriculum for National 5 or Higher Russian, providing the dedicated teaching your child needs to prepare thoroughly for their exams.
My child hopes to study languages at the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with their application?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications. They can help your child articulate their passion for Russian in their personal statement and prepare them for any potential interviews, making their application as strong as possible.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as preparing students for SQA exams. We recommend watching their introductory videos, reading reviews from other parents, and messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can start teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel confident in your choice.
How much does an online Russian tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking Russian?
The one-to-one online environment is a safe space for your child to practise speaking without feeling self-conscious. Tutors use conversation-based exercises and provide instant, encouraging feedback to help your child feel more comfortable and fluent over time.
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 space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can we have lessons at weekends or in the evenings?
