Know Yourself, Learn to Defend Your Ideas and Write More Effectively. Step Ahead.

stepupper is an online platform for students to develop their speaking, writing, communication and stage skills. Debate and public speaking, written expression and stage and talent work come together in one account. You need to be at least 10 years old to sign up.

In the first stage, yes. You open your account, apply for membership, watch and read the content and message your mentors, all on the web. The second stage includes events attended by all members. These events are not online: they are simulations held in person to practise the formats.

After creating your account you apply for a membership in the app; you accept the pre-contract information form and the distance sales agreement there. You pay by bank transfer and write your application code in the description; no card details are taken. For students with a school agreement, payment follows the agreement with the school. Once your payment is seen, your membership is activated within 2 business days at the latest.

Memberships are term-based; one term is 40 days. The individual membership costs TRY 6,000 / term (VAT included). A membership does not renew by itself; renewing means a new application.

Yes. Your date of birth is asked at sign-up; for anyone under 18, guardian details are requested and a consent link is e-mailed to the guardian. The account stays limited until the guardian's consent arrives. The agreement in the membership application is also approved by the guardian.

Video, PDF and text (lesson) content. In videos and PDFs you can continue where you left off and follow your progress. Content stays open for as long as your membership is active.

Your format and your mentor are assigned by the administration. You reach your mentor through in-platform messaging, and mentors share their evaluations on the platform too. Messaging is available for as long as your membership is active.

Yes. In the calendar inside the app you see live sessions and workshops in a month view and an upcoming list. An active membership is needed to enrol or cancel, and enrolment is refused once the seats are full. You can add a session to your own calendar (.ics), get e-mail and in-app reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before, and are notified if a session is cancelled or rescheduled. The join link is shown only to enrolled students, shortly before the session. Sessions run through an external meeting link and are not recorded by the platform. Mentors create and manage the sessions.

Under distance sales rules you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the formation of the contract. If you ask in your application for the service to start before the withdrawal period ends, you accept that your right of withdrawal ends once access is opened. The details are in the Cancellation and Refund Terms (published in Turkish).

School partnerships run under an agreement with the school; the plan and seat count are agreed together, and payment follows the agreement. In the school panel, administrators see seat usage and the student list, enrol students in bulk from a CSV file (with a preview, row-level error reports and a seat-limit check), review the enrolment history and can unlink students from the school. For students under 18, the guardian process follows the school's attestation. School administrators do not see evaluations, scores, notes or message content. For details you can write to okul@stepupper.com.

You can send your request to your mentor or to the support team; the change is made by the administration.

Yes. In the app's Settings you can export your account data and close your account by entering your password. For other requests about your personal data you can write to support@stepupper.com.
