"The Calculus workshop was a game-changer. Having 5 other students struggling with the same concepts made it feel less isolating. Our tutor was incredible, and by the end, I had formed a study group that still meets weekly."

Common Questions About Workshops

Everything parents and students ask before joining a BrightMinds workshop.

How are students grouped together? +
We use a combination of pre-workshop assessments, teacher recommendations, and self-reported goals to place students in the right level group. If a student outpaces the group or needs extra support, we'll work with them individually and may suggest advanced workshops or additional 1-on-1 sessions.
What happens if my child misses a session? +
Every session is recorded and uploaded within 2 hours. Students can watch the recording, access the slides, and submit questions via our portal. For workshops with a weekly fee, we also offer make-up sessions if you notify us 48 hours in advance.
Can my child switch workshops mid-term? +
Yes. Within the first two weeks of a workshop, students can switch to a different workshop or level at no additional cost. After two weeks, please contact us to discuss options โ€” we want every student in the best possible learning environment.
Do workshops run online, in-person, or both? +
We offer all three formats. Some workshops are exclusively online, some are in-person at our San Francisco location, and many are hybrid โ€” meaning students can join either way. The format is listed for each workshop in our schedule. All online sessions use our interactive virtual classroom with whiteboard, screen sharing, and breakout rooms.
Are materials and homework included? +
Yes! Every workshop includes a digital workbook, practice problem sets, and access to our resource library. Homework is assigned weekly and reviewed at the start of each session. Tutors provide feedback on all submitted work within 24 hours.
What is the refund policy for workshops? +
Full refund if you cancel within 7 days of enrollment or before the workshop begins. After the first session, we offer prorated refunds based on completed sessions. For semester and annual plans, you can cancel at the end of any workshop series with no further charges.
