Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Since Russian isn't taught in most Tooting schools, can a tutor cover the entire GCSE or A-Level curriculum?

Absolutely. Many of our specialist language tutors are experienced in guiding students through the full curriculum from start to finish. They can create a structured learning plan to cover all the required topics, from grammar and vocabulary to literature and exam preparation, ensuring your child is fully prepared.

My child hopes to apply to UCL or King's College London. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top universities and have experience helping students with their UCAS applications. While their main focus is on the subject, they can help your child achieve the high grades needed and offer advice on how to showcase their language skills in their personal statement.

How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?

It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style and find the perfect match.

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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.

My child is a complete beginner. Is tutoring suitable?

Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to start learning a new language. A tutor can tailor lessons to your child's pace, making sure they build a strong foundation and develop a love for the language right from the beginning.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, so your child can focus on learning.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

What if we don't get on with our first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the right fit. 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.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works well, especially for keeping up momentum with a language. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your tutor.

Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we hear about from parents. The one-to-one attention in a supportive space helps children ask questions freely, make mistakes without fear, and see themselves making real progress, which does wonders for their self-esteem.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or develop their public speaking skills, you can find an expert tutor to help them.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

The best way is to have regular chats with your tutor. They can provide feedback after each session on what your child has covered and what they're working towards. This open communication helps you stay involved and see the progress your child is making.
