Life happens! If you are ever unable to attend a weekly group discussion you can still submit your homework assignments as normal.

At the Global Book Club we are committed to maintaining a reliable weekly schedule. However, in the rare case that the instructor has an emergency and is not able to host the weekly discussions at the scheduled time we will have a vote to choose a time to reschedule the lesson. If this rescheduled time does not work for you please let us know and you will be refunded the cost of this week.

At the Global Book Club our #1 priority is to maintain a supportive, safe environment. If another student has made a rude or offensive comment to you please contact us so that we can limit your interaction with this student in our discussions or depending on the severity of the behavior remove them from the club.

We completely understand! Speaking in your second language can initially be intimidating. Our book clubs will have 3-10 students. In clubs with 5 or more students we will spend part of our weekly discussion time in smaller breakout rooms of 3 students before joining the rest of the group. This will ensure you have maximum speaking time in our sessions.
