Users submit documents through our secure file sharing portal and check for document return status on the personalized and secure Message Center.

This service helps students address academic needs that run deeper than homework help. With Skills Building, Brainfuse tutors help students master core academic skills through state-aligned lessons, covering various grade levels and academic topics.
