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.

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

We're a Russian-speaking family in Tower Hamlets. Can we find a tutor who understands how to teach heritage speakers?

Absolutely. Many of our Russian tutors specialise in working with heritage speakers. They understand the unique challenge of building on fluent conversational skills to develop the formal grammar, reading, and writing abilities needed to excel in GCSE and A-Level exams.

My child hopes to apply to a competitive London university like LSE or Queen Mary. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes. A great A-Level grade in Russian can significantly strengthen a UCAS application. Our tutors can provide the focused support your child needs to aim for top marks, helping them secure a place at their dream university.

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

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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 much does online Russian tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help build your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or master a new hobby, we can help you find an expert tutor.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

The standard session length is one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best plan with your tutor.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Life is busy, and we understand that plans can change. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but please be sure to give them at least 24 hours' notice.
