About us
Qadam means “step” in Kazakh. The project works the same way: eight steps, and the next one starts only when the previous one is done.
How Qadam started
Qadam is made by a school student who is preparing for university himself. Preparing for IELTS alone is hard for a simple reason: after a practice test it is unclear where exactly the mistake is and what to fix.
In November 2026 Qadam became a free trainer. In Reading and Listening it shows the correct answer next to every mistake; in Writing and Speaking it counts what can be counted honestly.
Why it matters
The goal of Qadam: any student from any school can practise in the IELTS format for free and see their mistakes, not just a final number.
There is no AI in the trainer yet, and it does not give an IELTS score. AI feedback will come later.
Eight steps
- Choosing the problem: IELTS practice for school students done
- First version: five tasks for each part now
- More tasks and essay topics ahead
- Feedback from the first users and fixing mistakes ahead
- AI feedback for Writing and Speaking ahead
- Case study with results ahead
- Growing what proved useful ahead
- Competitions and talks ahead
Who makes Qadam
Qadam is run by one person, a school student from Astana. The trainer is free and has no ads.
Tasks, texts and this site were made with an AI assistant, and a person checks and decides. If you find a mistake in a task, write to us and we will fix it.
