Follow these steps to get online tutoring:

• Log into ACES
• Select “My Courses” 
• Click on the house icon next to the course you want to access
• Click on the “Brainfuse Online Tutoring” link on the left side of the screen
• Click “Launch Brainfuse”

Once Brainfuse has launched, select from three options:

• Tutor Match*: Connect with a Palo Alto College tutor for a 30-minute tutoring session; you will be directed to set up an appointment for the tutoring session.
• Live Help**: Connect with a Brainfuse tutor instantly (depending upon subject) for a 30-minute tutoring session.
• Writing Lab**: To submit a paper for review by a Palo Alto College tutor, click on “Submit a Paper” and select “Palo Alto College Tutor Review.” For review by a Brainfuse tutor, select any of the other options listed. When submitting to PAC tutors, you will receive a response within 24 hours, Monday through Thursday only. When submitting to a Brainfuse tutor, you will receive feedback within 24 hours, seven days per week.

*Repeat appointments with a Palo Alto College tutor are allowed through Tutor Match, and time spent online with a Palo Alto College tutor is not deducted from a student’s seven-hour per semester limit (see ** below). 

**Live Help and Writing Lab sessions with Brainfuse tutors are limited to a total of seven hours per semester. Live sessions with a Brainfuse tutor are deducted from a student’s seven-hour limit based on the actual transaction time. For example, if you spend 20 minutes with a tutor, 20 minutes are deducted from your seven hours. For each Writing Lab submission, 35 minutes are deducted from your seven hours. Writing Lab submissions to a Palo Alto College tutor do not count against the seven-hour limit.

Brainfuse Tutoring Hours 

Each student also receives a total of 7 hours of free online tutoring this fall provided by a company called Brainfuse. Help is available seven days per week, including evenings, and assists with all subjects listed below. No appointment is necessary.
