Russian Tutors: 1-1 Russian Preparation

Hello! I’m Lauren and I have just graduated from the University of Oxford in Modern Languages (Spanish and Russian). This is my second year working with Study Mind, where last year I successfully helped several students gain admission into Oxford University. Outside of academia, I like to stay active, playing rugby for Oxford’s first team. I enjoy travelling and immersing myself in other cultures, which I did a lot of on my year abroad: I have lived and worked in Russia, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, Hungary, and Kazakhstan! Living in foreign countries (often on my own) has made me an outgoing, enthusiastic, and proactive person. It was a very different experience to living on the farm I grew up on in coastal Wales!
I’ve had such a positive experience studying and living in Oxford, and I am excited to share what I have learned with others who are aspiring to study here too. I am happy to give advice on personal statements, interviews, or admissions tests, as well as tutoring GCSEs and A-Levels in a variety of subjects.
Please feel free to reach out!

I am a first-year Land Economy student at the University of Cambridge, combining interests in economics, policy, and real-world data. Before Cambridge, I completed the IB Diploma with a score of 44/45, focusing on Economics, Mathematics, and research. I have worked on analytical projects with organisations such as Rosbank and VK, where I carried out market evaluations, behavioural-economics studies, and strategic proposals. My independent econometric research on climate adaptation was later published and presented internationally.
Teaching has been a consistent part of my academic journey. While leading the Economics Department at Priceless Education, I organised lessons, developed learning materials, and worked with students from different backgrounds. I enjoyed breaking down complex models into simple, visual explanations, guiding students through past papers, and helping them build confidence step by step. During international competitions—such as the Wharton Investment Competition—I mentored younger teammates through valuation, forecasting, and portfolio design, which naturally grew into a habit of supporting others in their learning.

My goal is to make learning engaging and achievable, while helping each student progress at their own pace and feel confident in the subjects we explore together.

Hello! I’m a second-year medical student with a previous Ivy League education in Neuroscience, experience with the IB, MCAT, and IMAT exams, and experience with a broad range of curricula and tutoring contexts. I’m originally from Riga, Latvia, lived in the US for 6 years, and now, based in Rome, Italy, I’m pursuing medical studies.

I have a rich range of experience across subjects with IB coursework experience in Math HL (7), Russian Language B (7), English Language & Literature A HL (7), also biology, chemistry, and psychology from my extensive Ivy League university coursework, and experience with standardized exams: MCAT (519) and IMAT (70.3/90, top 5% for all 2025 test-takers).

I’m passionate about applied science and translations between science and practice, be it engineering or clinical, and make sure to supplement my tutoring as such. My tutoring is engaging, personalized, and is there to motivate learning and passion about the subjects the same way I have passion for the subjects I teach!

I speak fluently and can teach in English, Russian, and Latvian.
