Tutoring Services: Online Tutoring

Online Tutoring Overview

Online Tutoring

 

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 accommodate the varied scheduling needs of students.  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 online 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 Brainfuse's tutors. Each usage of the Writing Lab and Send a Question is metered at 30 minutes and deducts from the 90-minute allotment. Click this link to view a video that provides a demonstration of how to book an appointment in Tutor Match. 

 

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.
