Tutoring Services: Home

The Library and Learning Commons currently offers campus-based and online tutoring options. Free tutoring services are available to all currently enrolled students. The LLC is using a system called myGradPlan to manage campus-based tutoring appointments. Online tutoring appointments are scheduled through a system called Brainfuse.  

Campus-based tutoring is available at all LLC locations. Students may preschedule campus-based appointments or drop in for a tutoring appointment at one of the LLC's campus locations. The myGradPlan appointment booking system is user-specific. The appointment booking link that appears on this page (red link below) will take you directly into the myGradPlan system so that you can schedule a campus-based tutoring appointment. Use your FSCJ credentials to log in. For a demonstration of how to navigate the booking system, please view this how-to video.

Please click on the link below to preschedule a campus-based tutoring appointment using the myGradPlan system.

There is also an access link for myGradPlan in the myFSCJ portal.  To access the system via this route, follow the steps below:

1. Log into myFSCJ.
2. Click on the myGradPlan tile in the Student Center.

Note for Faculty and Staff:  The appointment booking link that is provided on this page is designed for student access. If faculty and staff users attempt to access the system through this link, they will receive an error message. myGradPlan is a role-driven system. The only system users who are currently configured to search for appointment availability are student users and selected staff in the advising and tutoring areas. Faculty and staff who wish to help students locate available tutoring appointments may direct students to the how-to video that appears in the column to left so that they can see a demonstration of how to navigate the system. A faculty user role that is currently activated gives faculty the ability to retrieve activity reports for students who are enrolled in their courses.

Online tutoring is available to students who are taking classes in all course modalities. FSCJ's tutors are integrated into the Brainfuse online tutoring platform through an application called Tutor Match. Through Tutor Match, you can schedule appointments with FSCJ's tutors in a variety of subject areas. Tutor Match appointments are available during morning, evening, and weekend hours to  An advantage of selecting the Tutor Match option when you use online tutoring is that there is no monthly usage cap when you schedule online tutoring appointments with the college's tutors. We encourage you to use Tutor Match as your primary source of tutoring support and supplement by connecting with Brainfuse's tutors during the hours when FSCJ's tutors are not available for appointments, keeping in mind that there is a monthly cap of 90 minutes of usage for the Live Help, Writing Lab, and Send a Question services provided by the Brainfuse tutors. Each usage of the Writing Lab and Send a Question is metered at 30 minutes and deducts from the 90-minute allotment. We also remind you that there are number of free academic and collaborative tools--such as Skill Surfer, Flashbulb, and Meet-- that are also available in Brainfuse. These tools are accessible 24 hours a day.  Click this link to view a video that provides a demonstration of how to book an appointment in Tutor Match. 

Students and faculty may access Brainfuse by following the route below:

1. Log into myFSCJ.
2. Click on the Useful Links tile.
3. Click on the Brainfuse Online Tutoring link that appears on navigation menu on the left.
