Ekaterina E
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with their application to the University of Southampton?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements. They can help your child articulate their passion for Russian and demonstrate the commitment that Russell Group universities like the University of Southampton look for in prospective students.
My child's school in Southampton doesn't offer Russian GCSE. Can a tutor help them achieve this qualification?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can provide the structured support your child needs to study for and sit their Russian GCSE or A-Level as a private candidate. They can cover the entire curriculum, helping to ensure your child’s linguistic skills are officially recognised.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child learn something else, like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects like Russian, Maths, and English, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a musical instrument, or even a new hobby. There's something for everyone.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child’s goals, whether that’s preparing for exams or building conversational skills. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask any questions.
How much do online Russian lessons cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find a tutor that fits. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective—we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How can a tutor help my child if they've never studied Russian before?
Our tutors are brilliant at working with complete beginners. They can make learning feel fun and manageable, starting with the very basics like the Cyrillic alphabet and simple greetings, and building your child’s confidence and skills at a pace that is right for them.
How long does it take to see progress?
Every child learns differently, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's tailored specifically to them. This focused support often leads to quicker progress than in a group setting. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.
Can a tutor help if my child has a Russian heritage and wants to connect with the language?
Yes, definitely. A tutor can create a personalised plan that helps your child connect with their heritage, whether it's by improving their conversational skills to speak with family, reading classic literature, or simply understanding the culture more deeply. It's a wonderful way to build on their existing connection.
How does online tutoring actually work?
With one-to-one tutoring, the lesson is 100% focused on your child. There are no distractions, and the tutor can adapt their teaching style to match how your child learns best. This means they can ask questions freely and work at their own pace, which is fantastic for building confidence.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
