Guidelines

We request you to adhere to the following guidelines throughout your Big Brainers experience:


Makeup Lessons

  • Please avoid making last-minute requests to reschedule the lessons - on rare occasions that you need to do that, please provide notice at least 24 hours in advance - otherwise, you will not get to reschedule or makeup the missed lesson

  • If a student or parent contacts us several times outside the time frame above, your student may become ineligible to receive makeup lessons

  • A makeup lesson will be offered once a month to students that missed out on lessons in that month, regardless of the number of lessons missed

  • Makeup lessons may have more than 3 students

  • Each student may only receive 1 makeup lesson per month

  • Special circumstances may allow the student to receive a temporary spot in another lesson batch - please contact us for more details

  • Lessons rescheduled by Big Brainers are not considered makeup lessons

Payment

  • The donation must be made by the deadline given by the volunteer reaching out to you

  • If interested in continuing the lessons, you must book the time slots for the next 2 months by the end of the day of the 2nd-last paid lesson; else, we may assume that you would like to terminate your lessons and like to discontinue after the last lesson

  • You can book the time slots by donating the fees for future lessons covering the student for 2 months

Lessons

  • Make sure that your device is charged and ready to use before each lesson

  • Make sure that the student has all the required materials for each lesson

  • The student must have his/her webcam on during the lesson (to ensure they're paying attention and participating)

  • If the student misses a lesson without a 24 hours or more in-advance notice, he/she may not receive a makeup lesson

  • During the lesson, please don't have siblings registered in other time slots attend (please make the required donation for them as well if that's the case) - Big Brainers India is a completely not-for-profit initiative by hard working students volunteering their precious time to help kids and raise money

  • If given homework, please perform the due diligence in encouraging the student to complete it as it will supplement his/her learning very well

  • Student eligibility: Please review the individual subject page and make sure the student is eligible to sign up for Big Brainers lessons

  • During the lessons, please make sure that the student allows himself/herself as well as others to have a great Big Brainers experience

  • If the student thinks the lesson is too fast, slow, difficult, easy, or just not right, please contact us
