I've taught students of all ages all over the world in some of the most prestigious British academies and British International schools. With over twelve years of classroom experience, I've supported students to make great progress in GCSEs, IGCSEs and A Levels so I understand exactly what those exams require. My approach is student-centred - whatever your goals and whatever your starting point, I will help you to get there by tailoring the lesson to suit your preferred learning style and your aims. If you're studying for exams at school, I'll help you get to grips with exactly what the exam requires...
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.
Local schools in Torquay don't offer Russian GCSE or A-Level. Can a tutor still help my child get these qualifications?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in guiding students through the entire curriculum for major exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. They can provide the structured support and exam preparation your child needs to gain a formal qualification, even if it's not available at their school.
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help their application stand out?
Yes, definitely. Achieving a qualification in a unique subject like Russian is a fantastic way to strengthen a UCAS application. A tutor can help your child work towards a formal grade that demonstrates their academic commitment and helps them stand out from other applicants.
How do I choose the best Russian tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and goals. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience with the GCSE or A-Level syllabus. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to say hello before you book.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. 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 do online Russian tutors in Torquay cost?
The price of our tutors varies depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with rates clearly displayed on every profile.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has been interviewed and has passed a background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe space can make a huge difference. When a child has the freedom to ask questions without feeling embarrassed, they start to see progress quickly. This success builds their self-belief, not just in Russian, but in their overall ability to learn.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! From hobbies like learning the guitar or piano to professional skills like coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest your child might have.
Can a tutor help with both grammar and conversational skills?
Yes, that's one of the great benefits of one-to-one tuition. The tutor can tailor lessons to cover exactly what your child needs, whether that's mastering tricky verb conjugations or simply building the confidence to speak Russian fluently.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, the frequency is completely up to you and your child. You can discuss what works best for your family directly with your tutor.
How does online tutoring work?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child, understand their current knowledge of Russian, and discuss their goals with you. It's a relaxed way to build a rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
