About Our Tutors
Expert tutors, ready to help: All Brainfuse tutors are experienced professionals who must demonstrate teaching and subject matter expertise.
Guiding students without providing answers: Instead of just giving answers, Brainfuse tutors help students arrive at solutions independently.
Rigorous quality control: Our comprehensive monitoring and review system provides tutors real-time guidance with instructional strategies and assists students with special tutoring requests.
Academic integrity matters: In addition to not providing answers, Brainfuse tutors flag instances of potential plagiarism or cheating and stress the importance of academic honesty with students.
Research-based Methodologies
Our tutors employ research-based methods to engage students in the learning process, rather than simply doing the work for them.
Close Observation: Tutors ask probing questions, actively listen, and carefully observe student responses to determine areas of academic need.
Guided Learning: Rather than merely answering questions, tutors guide students and encourage active participation by asking Socratic-style questions, formulating example problems, inviting students to summarize concepts, or presenting information through scaffolding or differentiation.
Modeling: Instead of just showing a student how to solve a homework problem, the tutor shows the student how to employ concepts, techniques, and strategies that can be applied to similar problems.
Patience and Acceptance: By readily welcoming all questions and eagerly repeating and clarifying concepts as many times as necessary, our tutors put students at ease.
