Step 3: Contact the Educator Before Enrolling

Communication before payment is a core feature of Grigo. We strongly recommend speaking with the instructor or institution before submitting an enrollment request.

You can reach out through:

• Platform Chat: Send a direct message through Grigo's built-in messaging system.
• Direct Contact Info: If the teacher or school has listed a phone number, email, or social media profile on their course page, you may contact them directly.

Essential Details to Discuss:

• Schedule & Availability: Confirm that the live lesson times align with your routine.
• Course Format: Ask whether the lessons are live interactive sessions, pre-recorded modules, or a hybrid of both.
• Trial Lessons: Inquire whether the teacher offers an initial trial lesson to test compatibility.
• Total Pricing & Payment Methods: Clarify the cost per lesson or for the full course, and agree on how you will send payment.

Step 4: Select Your Schedule and Submit Your Order

Once you and your instructor have agreed on the details:

1. Navigate to the main course page on Grigo.
2. Locate the schedule section on the right side of the page (beneath the main course thumbnail).
3. Select your desired group or schedule slot on the calendar.
4. Click Enroll myself.
5. Select your enrollment type:
   • Pay Full Course: For complete program access.
   • Pay Specific Amount of Lessons: For modular or lesson-by-lesson payment arrangements.
6. Click Confirm order.

Step 5: Important Note Regarding Payments on Grigo

How Payments Work on Grigo Academy > Grigo Academy does not process, extract, or hold student payments. > Clicking Confirm order on Grigo will not deduct funds from your bank account or payment card. Grigo provides the technology tools to connect students with educators, organize lesson materials, and host learning spaces.

You will pay your teacher or institution directly using the payment method agreed upon during your private communications (e.g., bank transfer, direct invoice, or cash payment depending on the institution's accepted methods).

Step 6: Confirmation and Starting Your Lessons

1. After you click Confirm order, the teacher receives an instant notification of your enrollment request.
2. Once you complete the payment directly with the teacher as agreed, the teacher confirms receipt and officially accepts your enrollment on the platform.
3. You receive full access to the course space, including live class access, schedule reminders, and recorded materials.
