Brainfuse Online Tutoring
Brainfuse is your online tutoring resource at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, and it goes beyond simply replacing the Online Writing Lab (OWL). If you find yourself needing help when the Academic Success Center isn't available — like late nights or weekends — Brainfuse is here for you. Every semester, currently enrolled Â鶹ÊÓƵ students get 300 free minutes of Brainfuse online tutoring.
To access it, visit any of your course pages in Canvas and look for Brainfuse in the navigation menu.
Once you've opened Brainfuse, you have two primary options:
- Live Help (Online Tutoring): Get real-time assistance across different subjects when Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Academic Success Centers
are closed.* Simply pick your topic and subject, and check the tutoring calendar for
tutor availability.
- Writing Lab: Upload a paper, scholarship essay, or job application for review. An Â鶹ÊÓƵ or Brainfuse writing tutor will review the paper, with a typical turnaround time of 24 hours.
*Computer science, nursing, and English Language Learner (ELL) support is available at any time. Other subjects, including math, science, and business, are available through Brainfuse Monday through Thursday from 4 PM to 8 AM and Friday through Sunday at any time.
You can also get on-campus and online tutoring via Microsoft Teams at all four Â鶹ÊÓƵ Academic Success Centers Monday through Thursday starting at 8 AM.
