Our story

Why InterStudy exists

Over 14 years, hundreds of students have studied at our English school. And with every graduating class the same conversation came up: โ€œWhat comes next?โ€ Where to apply โ€” in Kazakhstan or abroad, which major to choose, whether their scores and language level are enough.

Families usually piece the answers together from friendsโ€™ advice, ads and Instagram posts. We believe such an important choice should not be made blindly.

That is how InterStudy came about โ€” an education navigator where you can understand your options and get help at every step: from career guidance and exam preparation to submitting documents to a university abroad.

๐Ÿ™

Small town, big ambitions

We work in Balkhash and Karaganda and know that students from the regions are just as capable as their peers in the capital. They need information and support.

๐Ÿงญ

Kazakhstan or abroad โ€” an honest comparison

We help compare options: Kazakhstan universities and state grants, studying in China, Europe or Asia โ€” with real prices and requirements.

๐Ÿค

With you at every step

From the first consultation to enrolment, we explain what to do, in what order and by when.

What we do

Everything you need for university admission โ€” in one place

Choose where to start: come with a ready plan or with the question โ€œwhere should I even apply?โ€

Founder of InterStudy and InterActive English Center

I have worked in education in Kazakhstan for more than 14 years. Hundreds of children have studied at our school, and I have seen how often even the most capable students reach their final year with one question: โ€œWhat comes next?โ€

Today I am a certified study abroad consultant, and InterStudy is an official QS partner. I help families figure out where and what to study: in Kazakhstan, China, Europe or Asia.

We do not decide for the student where to apply. We give them honest information, a comparison of options and support โ€” so that the decision is their own and well-informed.

โ€œChoosing the right path is not guesswork. It is an informed decision. Our job is to give the family a complete and honest picture.โ€

Our principles

What guides us

๐Ÿ”
Honest information
We talk about universities and countries without embellishment โ€” including weaknesses and real prices. Our job is not to sell, but to give an objective picture
๐Ÿšซ
No guarantees promised
Admission depends on the student, their scores and the universityโ€™s decision. We are honest about the chances and never sell โ€œguaranteed admissionโ€
๐ŸŽฏ
Individual approach
Every student has their own path. We find a solution that fits their goals, level and family budget
๐Ÿค
Respect for the family
For many families this is a serious decision and investment, so we work carefully and with full responsibility
๐Ÿ“
Knowledge of the Kazakhstan context
We work in Kazakhstan and understand the UNT, state grants and the specifics of local universities first-hand
๐ŸŒฑ
Long-term thinking
Our reputation matters more than the number of sales. One happy student will tell ten friends

What our clients say

"I want to leave a review of the consultation on studying abroad. Anna helped us enormously: she explained in detail all the possible routes to studying abroad and generously shared her personal experience โ€” how her own children prepared for admission, what is worth doing and what is better to avoid. After the Zoom call with Anna, my child finally had a clear picture and was able to set concrete next steps. Anna is always in touch and knows how to communicate with a teenager easily and respectfully. Highly recommend!"

"I want to say a huge thank you to Anna for the consultation. She immediately dived in, spotted the gaps and weak points in the plan and strategy, then we worked through backup options B and C โ€” which instantly reduced my anxiety! Anna is very engaged and always ready to share resources and point you in the right direction."

"Honestly, the best seminar I have ever attended. Unlike others that are full of fluff, you laid everything out clearly and explained it in a way that was easy to understand. Most importantly, you spoke only in facts โ€” actual prices for accommodation, tuition, and food. The seminar was so informative that barely any questions came up. Thank you so much!"
