Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your answer? Use "Contact admin" in your dashboard or email support@gergasi.school.

Getting started

What is Gergasi?

A live online classroom for Malaysian students. Teachers run small group classes on video. They send questions to everyone during the class, you answer on your own screen, and you see the class ranking live. There is also Power Congak, a mental-arithmetic game.

Is there a minimum age?

No. Students under 18 need a parent or guardian to agree to our Terms and look after the account.

What do I need?

A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, a recent browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox) and a stable internet connection. There is nothing to install.

Do I have to verify my email?

It is not required, but we recommend it. Verifying lets us reach you about bookings, and lets you recover your password. An account that is never verified is closed after 30 days. Logging in again reopens it.

Credits and payments

How do credits work?

Buy credits in Wallet → Buy credits and use them to book classes. When you book, the class price is held. It is only charged after you attend.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits stay in your account for as long as it is open.

How can I pay?

With FPX online banking, Touch 'n Go eWallet and other methods through Billplz. Any processing fee for the method you choose is shown before you pay.

Can I get a refund?

Unused paid credits can be refunded within 14 days of purchase, and payment errors are always put right. Attended classes are not refunded. See section 4 of the Terms.

What does "held" mean in my wallet?

Credits set aside for classes you have booked. They come back to you if you cancel in time or the class is cancelled.

Classes

How do I book and join a class?

Open Classes, pick a class and press Book. When it is time, press Join on the class card. You can join a few minutes before it starts.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, up to 15 minutes before the class starts. Your held credits come back in full. After that the booking cannot be cancelled.

What if my teacher cancels?

You get an alert and an email, and your held credits come straight back. Teachers can only cancel up to 60 minutes before the start.

Can I record the class?

No. Students and teachers are not allowed to record, screen-capture or photograph classes. Gergasi records some parts of classes for safety and quality, and everyone is told when that happens.

What happens if a student misbehaves?

The teacher can remove them from the class straight away, with no refund for that class. Anyone who tampers with a class is dismissed from it.

I feel unsafe in a class. What do I do?

Press the Safety button in the class. Gergasi's team is alerted immediately.

Teachers

How do I start teaching?

Sign up as a teacher, complete your profile and teaching subjects, and wait for Gergasi to verify you. Then create classes from your dashboard's Schedule.

How much do I earn?

You set the price. Gergasi's commission starts at 25% and falls with every completed paid class, to 15% after 1000 classes. Tips are yours in full.

When can I withdraw?

Earnings clear 7 days after the class. You can request a payout once your cleared balance is at least RM50.

Why can't I find a subject when creating a class?

Gergasi may pause new classes for some subjects or levels. Contact admin if you believe you should be able to teach it.

Credit Reservoir

What is the Credit Reservoir?

A fund of contributions from the public, companies and supporters that pays for classes for students who cannot afford them. Anyone can contribute from the home page.

How can a student get sponsored credits?

Apply from your Wallet. Gergasi reviews each application. Sponsored credits can be used to book classes only, not for tips or Battle voice chat.

Power Congak

What is Power Congak?

A mental-arithmetic game with solo practice, Duel on one device, and Battle rooms with friends. Teachers can also run rounds inside a class.

Does Power Congak cost credits?

No. Power Congak is free to play, but only while you keep at least 5 paid credits in your Gergasi wallet. Nothing is deducted when you play. Sponsored credits don't count towards this. Rounds your teacher runs inside a class are part of the class and are always open.

Do I need an account to play Battle?

No. Anyone can join a public or private Battle room as a guest by typing a nickname. Hosting a room needs a registered student account with at least 5 credits in the wallet, and is done from the dashboard.

Do points have value?

Points and badges are for fun and ranking only. They cannot be exchanged for credits or money.
