I am a friendly, patient tutor of languages and music. I teach French and Russian (which I’ve studied to master’s level at the University of Bath, and to undergraduate level at the University of Oxford) and Latin and Classical Greek (which I took to A level equivalent). I also teach guitar (acoustic and electric), electric bass, and drums, which I’ve played semi-professionally in rock, folk and jazz bands, as well as music theory, which I think can be helpful for any musical style.I have several years’ experience of tutoring languages and music at a variety of levels from beginner onwards. I reall...

Academic Russian Course Russian Tutor/Examiner
Students study all aspects of language learning. It is a balanced individually tailored course.I use super advanced materials and interactive platforms to develop skills.At each lesson we use phonetic exercises for articulation, grammar practice tests, listening, reading and writing exercises. Last year all students taking A level exams got either an A or an A*. Since 2010 there has not been a mark lower than A in GCSE and A level exams.Some students prefer to sit Russian as a Foreign Language tests. They also score quite high in their results.I support students with great materials, cultural knowledge...

I have been tutoring Russian for the last 25 years.
I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks.Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level. When I prepare...
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.

Great lessons for Russian beginners ! Ciaran understands exactly how I a French and English speaking person could interpret certain words and specificities of the Russian language. That helps me understand better and makes the lesson enjoyable !!

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 hoping to apply to the University of Manchester or Liverpool. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications and personal statements. Having a formal qualification in a unique subject like Russian can really make their application stand out, and a tutor can help them articulate this valuable skill effectively.
Since Russian isn't taught at Priestley College or other Warrington schools, can a tutor help my child study for the actual GCSE or A-Level exam?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can create a complete study plan covering the entire curriculum for the relevant exam board. They can provide all the resources and expert guidance your child needs to prepare thoroughly and sit the exam as a private candidate, turning their passion into a recognised qualification.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors and sending them a message to discuss your child’s specific goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
How much does a Russian tutor in Warrington cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices for Russian tutors typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent background check) before they can join our platform. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple and secure. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child if they feel unmotivated?
A one-to-one tutor can make a huge difference here. By getting to know your child and their interests, a tutor can make learning feel relevant and exciting again. This personalised approach often rebuilds confidence and reminds them why they loved the subject in the first place.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child’s confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular support.
Can my child get help with both language and literature aspects of Russian?
Yes. Our tutors have a wide range of specialisms. When you search, you can see which tutors focus on conversational skills, grammar, exam preparation, or literature. You can message them beforehand to ensure they are the right fit for your child's specific needs.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like piano or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like Russian, Maths, and English, we also have amazing tutors who teach music, coding, art, and a wide range of other skills. It’s all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How does online tutoring actually work?
We focus on building a trusted partnership with you and your child. With over 4,100 reviews rating us 4.6/5, we pride ourselves on our high-quality, background-checked tutors and our dedicated support team. Our goal is to make learning a positive, confidence-building experience for the 200,000+ students who have learned with us.
