Have you ever sat down with your student to go over their homework and not been sure of the answer yourself? Does your student need a tutor, but you have not been able to find one or cannot afford the extra cost? Did you just start back at school and could use some help in your own classes?

Tehama County now has a free online tutoring resource called Brainfuse to take care of your family’s personalized learning needs.

Brainfuse is one of the nation’s leading online tutoring providers, serving libraries, school districts, colleges and universities. All you need is a library card and Internet access to take advantage of this amazing resource.

Brainfuse offers a personalized, state standards aligned live homework help in core subjects — math, reading, writing, science and social studies — including Advanced Placement (AP), a Foreign Language Lab and ACT and SAT test preparation.

Brainfuse also provides tools like flashcards, educational puzzles and fun games to help your student study. Whether you or your student need a quick question answered, need help understanding a new concept or are looking to build skills, you now have a free resource tailored to you and your family.

Brainfuse is available now on the Tehama County Library’s public computers or from any computer with Internet connection through the library website at www.tehamacountylibrary.org. Click on the Brainfuse logo and enter your library card number to access a highly trained tutor from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

All other Brainfuse programs are available 24/7 for your convenience.

The Brainfuse program in Tehama County has been made possible by the Tehama County Library, Tehama County Friends of the Library, Tehama County Department of Education and College Options.
