Individual Tuition
start any time
Our individual tuition is flexible and tailored to your requirements. Just let us know your learning goals and preferred schedule and we’ll put together a course for you.
Our teachers are native speakers, highly experienced and qualified, and are experts at creating a friendly, welcoming atmosphere during lessons.
In-person lessons take place at Pushkin House or at your home or office. Online lessons take place via Zoom. We recommend 90 minutes as a minimum lesson length for in-person tuition, and 60 minutes for online tuition.
Lessons are charged by the hour, with discounts available for larger blocks. Please note that discounts apply only to blocks paid for in full in advance. Prices below are inclusive of VAT. You can also team up with friends or colleagues for a supplement of £2 per person per hour.
Use our course calculator to work out the total cost for a block of hours. The calculator will apply block discounts automatically, but remember that you need to pay for the block in full in advance to receive the discount.

More about individual tuition
place of tuition
In-person lessons can be held at Pushkin House or at your home or office. We do not charge for the cost of teacher’s travel to your place of study if it is within Zone 2 of London Underground. Lessons outside Zone 2 are available with a travel supplement – please ask for details.
frequency of lessons
This is entirely up to you: some students have lessons daily over a short period, others have lessons one or twice a month over many years. For students at lower levels who wish to make rapid progress, we recommend lessons at least twice a week.
timing of lessons
In-person lessons take place between 09:00 and 21:00 on weekdays, and between 09:30 and 19:00 at weekends.
Online lessons take place between 08:00 and 21:00 on weekdays, and between 10:00 and 19:00 at weekends.
cancellation or postponement of lessons
You can cancel or postpone a class up to 24 hours before the start. This excludes weekends and bank holidays.
Any lessons cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be considered a ‘late cancellation’ and will be charged in full.
employer-funded tuition
If you need to apply for approval from your employer for a course, we can provide a course proposal and arrange a course consultation if required.
exams and certificates
Certificates of attendance stating your level and the number of hours you have completed are available on request at the end of every block of 20 hours.
RLC holds the official Russian TRKI exams (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language) twice a year, run in conjunction with St Petersburg University. Individual students are warmly encouraged to sit these exams if they wish.
We are not a registered Edexcel testing centre for GCSE or A level. However, a number of RLC teachers are experienced in preparing students for GCSE, A Level and University Entrance exams.
