Note:  You may schedule an online tutoring appointment for World Languages by using the Tutor Match feature in Brainfuse. You may have unlimited monthly appointments if you choose the Tutor Match option.  World languages tutoring is also also available through the Language Lab in Brainfuse, which is staffed by Brainfuse's professional tutors. Brainfuse's Language Lab offers support in French, German, and Spanish. Please note that you are allotted 90 minutes per month to use the services provided by Brainfuse's tutors.  Any sessions that you have in the Language Lab will be deducted from your monthly allotment of time. To maximize your access to tutoring support, we suggest that you use Tutor Match with FSCJ's tutors as your primary source of tutoring support and then supplement with the services provided by Brainnfuse's tutors during times when our tutors are not available for appointments.

What to Expect During a World Languages Tutoring Session

World languages tutoring appointments are scheduled in 30-minute increments. You may stretch your session time to a full hour by scheduling two back-to-back tutoring appointments in one calendar day. We cap tutoring sessions at one hour of tutoring per calendar day to ensure that our staff are available to assist as many students as possible.

 

  • Prepare for your session by identifying specific questions or content that you would like to work on. Bring your class notes, textbook, or any handouts that you have so that they may be referenced during your session.
  • The tutor will engage you in spoken language practice during the session. 
  • For online tutoring sessions, you may use the Snap and Send feature on Brainfuse's mobile app to facilitate content sharing during the session.
  • Students who receive notetaking or sign language interpretation services as a part of their accommodations for disabilities may bring these support staff members with them to their tutoring sessions. For online tutoring sessions, just reach out to the tutor with whom the session has been scheduled to alert them that you will be inviting another attendee so that they can provide you with a special access link for the session.
