Leon County Launches Online Tutoring for All Ages with Brainfuse HelpNow
Leon County Government is proud to announce the launch of Brainfuse HelpNow, a new virtual tutoring service offered through the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library System. Available to all library card holders, Brainfuse HelpNow provides free, real-time academic assistance and personalized eLearning tools for students and lifelong learners of all ages.
Brainfuse HelpNow stands out for its national reach, expert tutors, and high user satisfaction. Partnering with more than 1,500 library systems nationwide, Brainfuse delivers more than one million tutoring sessions each year. All its tutors are rigorously screened subject experts dedicated to providing consistent, high-quality academic support, and the platform boasts an average satisfaction rating of 4.8 out of 5.
Building on the library’s ongoing success, Brainfuse HelpNow offers live tutoring in subjects including math, science, English, social studies, and test preparation for PSAT/SAT, ACT, AP, and state standardized tests. Tutors are available online Monday through Sunday from 2 to 11 p.m. Users can access the service from any internet-connected device, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. According to Brainfuse, private tutoring can cost more than $30 an hour. As a result, Brainfuse HelpNow provides an essential service at no cost to library card holders, ensuring that high-quality academic support is accessible to all.
In addition to live tutoring, Brainfuse HelpNow provides a 24/7 Writing Lab, skills-building exercises, and an Adult Learning Center that offers job seekers resources such as resume and cover letter assistance, as well as GED and citizenship test preparation.
For those needing internet access, adult library card holders can check out laptops, tablets, and mobile hotspots at no charge. To date, the library has provided nearly 19,000 device checkouts, ensuring equitable access to digital resources.
To begin using Brainfuse HelpNow, library card holders can log in with their library card number, select their subject, and connect with a live tutor. For kindergarten through 8th-grade students seeking in-person support, the Leon County Public Library’s Homework Hub program offers free tutoring at all locations. Since its launch in 2021, Homework Hub has helped more than 3,500 students strengthen their skills in reading, math, and science through free, in-person tutoring at all library locations.
Leon County residents can sign up for a library card at no cost by applying online or visiting any Leon County Public Library location.
