Frequently asked questions

Which cities have in-person lessons?
Tutors teach in person in three Kazakhstani cities: Almaty, Astana, Shymkent. Everywhere else in Kazakhstan, Central Asia and the CIS, lessons run online only.
Can I study from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan?
Yes, online. Tashkent, Samarkand, Bishkek and Osh are within an hour of Almaty, so scheduling works much as it does for students inside Kazakhstan. The exams are the same too: IELTS, SAT, TOEFL.
Do online lessons cost less than in-person ones?
Tutors set their own rate, and it is not tied to where the student lives. The spread between tutors comes from verification and proven results, not geography.
