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 is aiming for a top London university like UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high A-Level grades required for entry into competitive universities. They can help your child build a strong academic profile by mastering the syllabus and honing their exam technique.
Russian isn't offered at my child's school in Shoreditch. Can a tutor teach the full GCSE or A-Level course?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors are well-versed in the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam board syllabuses and can guide your child through the entire course from scratch, ensuring they cover every topic needed to sit the exam with confidence.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile, watch their introductory video, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 tuition cost in Shoreditch?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, to ensure your child learns from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you track your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. Seeing your child's confidence and grades improve is the best indicator of success.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a wide range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or take up a new language for fun, we can help.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to fit your child's needs and schedule.
Can my child get help with conversational Russian as well as exam prep?
Of course. While many parents seek help with exam qualifications, our tutors are also native or fluent speakers who can help improve your child's confidence, fluency, and pronunciation in conversational Russian.
How does online tutoring work?
Life can be busy, and we understand that. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson with your tutor through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
