Brainfuse is available through Brightspace and provides students with live tutoring, expert writing assistance, and more. Tutors and students communicate in real-time through the Brainfuse Online Classroom. There is a 24/7 Question Center for students who need a detailed, structured explanation of key concepts or help with an assignment.
Brainfuse is integrated with Brightspace, so students should see a link in each course to Brainfuse. Students simply submit their questions and receive feedback from the Brainfuse-certified instructor. Instructors must make this tool available by adding the Course Tool to their Brightspace course so that students can then access Brainfuse.
Professional tutors are generally adjunct faculty or others who hold either a Bachelor or Master’s degree in the area they wish to tutor.
If you are interested in becoming a paid, professional tutor, please contact Amber Sayre, Coordinator of Student Achievement and Career Preparation by emailing: wrhodes@newriver.edu or by calling 304-929-5027.
Student Peer Tutors are volunteer students who have demonstrated a mastery of the course content they will tutor. An instructor must recommend a student for the position based on their performance in their class. Peer tutors must have an earned overall 3.0 GPA and at least a 3.0 GPA in the subject they wish to tutor.
All volunteers interested in being a Student Peer Tutor
are encouraged to contact Marie Rhodes.
