Big Brainers originally started out as ChessMate, a not-for-profit initiative in which Akshat gave private chess lessons since April 2020 with a mission of developing interest in and improving the chess skills of interested students. With an overwhelming response for chess lessons, Akshat, Aditya, and Sanika came together and streamlined all their efforts into one not-for-profit initiative: Big Brainers. ChessMate then revamped into Big Brainers, offering the high in demand chess lessons from ChessMate in addition to math and science lessons, starting early June 2020. Since then, Big Brainers has grown its volunteer team as well as its lesson subject offerings significantly and still continues to do so today. As a team of over 30 volunteers, we've been able to teach and pass our knowledge to over 300 students through numerous high-quality lessons and raise thousands of dollars for renowned non-profit organizations with active humanitarian efforts (as of July 2020). Big Brainers has always stood by and will always stand by the concept of affordable, high-quality lessons, for students, proudly by students.
