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...

Friendly, patient Russian tutor
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...

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.
My child is aiming for a competitive course at the University of Warwick. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for top universities. They can help your child build the deep subject knowledge, critical thinking skills, and confidence needed to write a strong personal statement and perform well in their A-Level exams, making their application as competitive as possible.
We're worried that not studying Russian at school puts our child at a disadvantage. Can tutoring close that gap?
Yes, it certainly can. One-to-one tutoring is the perfect way to level the playing field. Your child gets the dedicated, expert attention that simply isn't possible in a classroom, allowing them to learn at their own pace and focus on the specific areas they need to master to achieve the top grades.
How do I choose the right Russian tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them in their reviews. Many tutors also have short introductory videos. You can message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How much does online Russian tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter your search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience, which is why we offer a 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has been through a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they see their skills improve, their self-belief grows naturally.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn directly from their tutor, no matter where they are.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour session each week works best for consistent progress, especially for A-Levels. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons with your tutor for a frequency that suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What A-Level exam boards do your Russian tutors cover?
Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA and Edexcel. You can check which exam boards a tutor specialises in on their profile, or simply ask them in a message before you book.
How quickly can we start lessons?
The process is very quick. You can search for, message, and book a tutor in just a few clicks. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days, so your child can get the support they need right away.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects like Russian, we also have experts in a huge range of other skills! From learning to code in Python or play the guitar, to music theory and public speaking, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
