I have been tutoring Russian for the last 25 years.
I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks.Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level. When I prepare...

Friendly, patient Russian tutor
I am a friendly, patient tutor of languages and music. I teach French and Russian (which I’ve studied to master’s level at the University of Bath, and to undergraduate level at the University of Oxford) and Latin and Classical Greek (which I took to A level equivalent). I also teach guitar (acoustic and electric), electric bass, and drums, which I’ve played semi-professionally in rock, folk and jazz bands, as well as music theory, which I think can be helpful for any musical style.I have several years’ experience of tutoring languages and music at a variety of levels from beginner onwards. I reall...

Academic Russian Course Russian Tutor/Examiner
Students study all aspects of language learning. It is a balanced individually tailored course.I use super advanced materials and interactive platforms to develop skills.At each lesson we use phonetic exercises for articulation, grammar practice tests, listening, reading and writing exercises. Last year all students taking A level exams got either an A or an A*. Since 2010 there has not been a mark lower than A in GCSE and A level exams.Some students prefer to sit Russian as a Foreign Language tests. They also score quite high in their results.I support students with great materials, cultural knowledge...
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.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to the University of Sheffield?
Yes, absolutely. While they don't write the application for them, many of our tutors have experience helping students build the strong academic profile needed for competitive courses, like those at the University of Sheffield. They can focus on deepening your child's subject knowledge and mastering the exam technique required to achieve the A or A* grades that will make their application stand out.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help my child get the top grades they need?
That's a very common goal for parents who come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for the highest grades. They can identify any gaps in your child's understanding and work specifically on the skills needed to move their performance from a B to an A or an A* in Russian.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend looking at a few profiles with your child. You can read reviews from other parents, check their qualifications and experience with the A-Level syllabus, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to see if they're a good fit.
How much do online Russian tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set a budget that works for you. You'll find all the costs clearly listed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check and provide references. We personally interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It’s simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s designed to be just as effective as being in the same room, but with the convenience of learning from home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult topics and they see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you and your tutor can agree on a schedule that best suits your child's needs, whether that's more frequent sessions before an exam or fortnightly lessons for general support.
What results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our aim is always to help them achieve their personal best. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one academic grade, giving them a real boost in their studies and future opportunities.
Are the tutors qualified to teach A-Level Russian?
Yes. You can see each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in the subject they teach. You can filter your search to find tutors with specific experience in the A-Level curriculum.
How does online tutoring work?
While we're well-known for academic support in subjects like Russian, we offer tutoring in a huge range of areas! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new hobby, there's likely a tutor who can help.
