Brainfuse Online Tutoring
You may access this service through Blackboard. The link may already be available in your Blackboard courses, but if not, view our simple instructions on how to access Brainfuse.
We know this is a stressful time, and we are here to help! Please take advantage of these tutoring services if you are having difficulties. We will get through this together!
The time to seek assistance from a tutor is the minute you realize you need help. If you're still not sure, ask yourself these questions:
- Am I falling behind in class?
- Am I having trouble with homework assignments?
- Have I done poorly on tests I have taken?
- Do I have difficulty writing a paper?
If you answered "Yes" to even one question above, you should visit the tutoring and/or writing center soon.
The goal of the tutoring program is to provide the resources to help strengthen your knowledge and understanding of the material in your college classes. It also promotes the processes of active learning, independence, and motivation.
For remote tutoring, scheduling appointments virtually will vary depending on the tutor and their availability. Students can also drop-in when the tutoring center is open. This is all subject to change - please refer to the BCTC tutoring schedules for the most accurate hours of operation.
