In a major step to provide all Californians with access to equitable learning opportunities, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that every Californian can now receive live, 24/7 online tutoring and homework help in every K-12 subject with Brainfuse HelpNow. Brainfuse has provided supplemental educational services for over twenty years, including online homework help, practice tests, study tools, and collaborative tools.
As part of California’s historic investment in public libraries, all California residents now have access to Brainfuse HelpNow free online tutoring. Students communicate with live tutors using an interactive whiteboard to chat, write, draw, copy/paste text or images, and graph homework problems. Live tutors are available 24 hours a day via any device that connects to the internet. Brainfuse tutors are familiar with California content standards and curriculum frameworks. Brainfuse offers assistance in math, science, language arts, and other core K-12 subjects in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. There’s no age limit to who can use the service. Adult learners will also have access to writing assistance, citizenship resources, and other skill-building tools.

“Not every family can afford a private tutor. Now through the CA State Library – Brainfuse HelpNow program, every Californian can get free online tutoring.

Without giving answers, tutors help students with their homework challenges, and guide them to the right solution,” said Jack Rothstein, Brainfuse Library Services Director.
