Mission Statement

Big Brainers aims to provide education in various subjects and raise money for humanitarian causes worldwide.

Our Story

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. 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. In May 2023, Big Brainers has aimed to revamp their mission beyond the online world. Partnering with community organizations across the United States, Big Brainers has begun providing quality education to students in-person. Big Brainers has always stood by and will always stand by the concept of high-quality education, for students, proudly by students.
