“Today was my first day using Brainfuse. It was an awesome experience. Tutors make you think and figure out how to go about a problem. They do not just solve for you but make you think through it. This helps with your critical thinking. This definitely makes you a better student and improves your grade. It is a definite privilege to have this sort of help. Brainfuse is great!”
“I appreciate the time my tutor gave me even after it was past time. Not only did they help me go through everything step by step but it assured me that I could’ve gotten there if I would have pushed myself a little further. I was at the point but not as thorough. Thank you.”
“She was very patient and gave clear explanations to my questions. I wish she was my chemistry professor because chemistry would be much easier to understand with her!”
“This is a really great resource for all. I definitely recommend this to the students at school before any other resources. The tutors are wonderful, patient, and very helpful. Thanks so much for offering to us in need of educational assistants here in HOUSTON.”
“Love the thorough explanation and patience. This clears a lot of problem and confusion, and gives me a good reason to enjoy class for I am now more confidence about getting the right answer in tests and actually learning something of use.”
“Thank you so much!!!! You have no idea how you have helped me. Keep up the good work. All the tutors are awesome and thank you for being patient even when I get frustrated when I don’t understand something. It means a whole lot. I honestly love you guys. Thanks again! You rock!”
“Krishna is an amazing tutor. Not only was Krishna able to explain concepts that I had trouble understanding after my professor went over them, but Krishna was able to get me to enjoy learning science again. I had once loved learning science, but over the years I got frustrated with it. However, Krishna was able to get my confidence to go up! I’ll be sure to come back again. I am no longer afraid to ask questions and I am ready to begin “appreciating the subject.”
“Victoria checked my paper, and once it was done she helped me go over it, mistake by mistake to fix all of them. Thank you for your time!”
“Nick, a writing tutor for the college level, was extraordinarily helpful in helping me edit an application essay to a graduate level program. He went above and beyond to help me, and I cannot say enough good things about his work. All of his corrections of my paper were exactly what I wanted and will help me significantly in working to perfect my essay. Please take note of his excellence.”
