About the company

Kazakhstan's education marketplace: tutors, courses, tests and online schools on one platform

Online Ustaz is a single learning environment for students, teachers, authors and schools. People find a tutor, buy a course, prepare for the UNT and other exams, learn with an AI assistant and run an entire online school here. Everything works in three languages, and payments and payouts are protected by the payment provider.

What the platform stands on

Money is protected

Card payments through TipTop Pay. If a tutor does not confirm a lesson or does not show up, the money is refunded in full.

Three languages everywhere

Interface, support, AI assistant and tests work in Kazakh, Russian and English. Kazakh comes first, not second.

Mobile and regions first

Most students come from district centres and villages on their phones. Pages are light, video is adaptive, payment takes two taps.

Verified content

Courses, tests and tutor profiles are moderated before publishing. Review complaints are handled by support.

Fair to authors

Transparent commission and card payouts. Authors see every sale in their workspace.

Open data about ourselves

The figures on this page are calculated automatically from the platform database and are ready for any audit.

Geography

All 20 regions of Kazakhstan

Platform users live in regions and cities of national significance across the country. Half of the audience comes not from the big cities but from regional centres, districts and villages.

Next step: Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in 2027.
