TORFL Tutor Online
Work one-on-one with a specialist to pass TORFL (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language / ТРКИ) at any of the six levels. Our tutors cover all five exam components and know exactly what each certificate level requires.
All Five TORFL Exam Components
Reading (Чтение)
Newspaper texts, official documents, and literary excerpts. Tutors build speed-reading techniques and vocabulary banks for each TORFL level.
Listening (Аудирование)
Radio broadcasts, dialogues, and formal announcements. Practice the question formats — written response, multiple choice, and true/false — that appear across TORFL levels.
Vocabulary & Grammar (Лексика и грамматика)
Aspect pairs, case endings, verbal prefixes, and word formation. Tutors target the specific grammatical structures tested at your target level.
Writing (Письмо)
Formal letters, summaries, and opinion essays. Tutors mark drafts against the official TORFL writing criteria and train you in the expected register.
Speaking (Говорение)
Interview-style tasks, picture descriptions, and discussion on societal topics. Fluency, coherence, and lexical range are the core scoring dimensions.
