Bitter truth about Daria Kroshkina & worst startup experience ever I am a former employee of the company called StudyFree founded by Daria Kroshkina. My journey with StudyFree started in 2020 and ended in April 2022. It's worth mentioning that I'm Ukrainian. As everyone knows, Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and the founder of this company is Russian. 1) when the war started, she did not mention her position regarding the ongoing war since she lives in the USA and clearly doesn't care. 2) she didn't offer ANY help or evacuation options to Ukrainian employees. Even when the war started we kept assisting the clients and doing our job thoroughly. At some point Daria Kroshkina started having problems with investments for the company due to sanctions towards Russians in March. For some reason she blamed the "situation", "the world", "the god" for not paying wages to employees, but not herself. Long story short, we haven't got paid for March and April. Before we left, the termination letters were signed stating we would have got paid by Dec 1, 2022. Daria claimed the company went bankrupt but simultaneously she was selling 'StudyFree' to another company and she is going to get about $50 000 for this deal. Answering the questions about the money she should have paid her employees a long time ago, Daria replies 'oh sorry guys but I don't owe you anything'. Unfortunately, we can't apply to court since the company is registered in the USA and the agreement with employees was worth absolutely nothing so we can't apply to court. Daria, I genuinely hope you'll be deported back to Russia for all your lies and violation of law.

In my opinion In my opinion, this is one of the best organizations of its kind. At the moment I'm still in school and I'm going to enroll in a bachelor's degree. Recently, I did not know anything about admission, but thanks to StudyFree I already have some idea and even began to develop a plan. Also I was lucky with my manager ;). I would definitely recommend StudyFree to my friends for applying abroad.

The story of Working at Studyfree Hi, My name is Hayk, one of the former workers of this absolutely irresponsible company, why? My “super-responsible” CEO Daria Kroshkina deceived not only 50+ workers and me as well, but the poor students who were just wanting to study abroad! How? Well, she manipulated us to work for free for a long time, more precisely, after the crisis occurred at the company our Head manager but not her told us to be ready not get our salary for two weeks because there was a problem with our ID address. However, these 2 weeks miraculously became 2 months, and all this time our CEO was not showing up but telling her colleagues to talk to us. The deal was to work harder as they say for 115% because everything is starting to become “normal”. This situation lasted till November. At that moment some of the workers had already been working for free for about 6 months. We simply stopped working and told her(the CEO)about them and she blocked our working profiles. After not working for a while our students also started to claim their money back, some of them eventually got the money after threats to sew them, however, some of my clients still can’t get them back. Please, for your own safety do not trust them and where you see the name Daria Kroshkina close the page as soon as possible. Thank you!

First I started to prepare on my own… First I started to prepare on my own with a Premium account. But I realised that I had not enough time to prepare and choose preparation with a personal manager. The platform gives me all the necessary information about University and scholarship and my manager gives me motivation and confidence. So I got my Admission. I will be studying at the Berlin School of Business and Innovation, Germany! Thank you to all the community members who helped me practice my language and work on my resume!

I picked full servicefor 3 years I picked full servicefor 3 years. Now I'm on the first step,choosing university (goals, tasks have already been determined). We quickly found a common language with my manager Lera. We call each other once every two weeks, as we agreed from the beginning. The work chat is open 24/7. Full support at all levels. Full support at any questions. There is still little communication in the application, but there are a lot of chats by interests. Group phone calls in a foreign language and assistance in matters of scholarships. So far I'm pretty satisfied with their work.
