Roane State tutors are available to help with most general education courses. If you need support for a course we do not cover, you still have access to free online tutoring through a service called Brainfuse.

To use Brainfuse:

• Log in to your Momentum account.
• Click on “My Tools” in the upper left corner.
• Choose “Brainfuse” from the dropdown list. This will take you directly to the Brainfuse homepage.

To start a tutoring session:

• Look for the box labeled “Live Help.”
• Select the subject you need help with, like Math, Science, or English.
• Choose your course.
• Click the “Connect” button to start a video session with a live tutor.

Tutors are available 24/7 for most subjects. If no tutor is available at that moment, you can click “Check Tutor Availability” to see when someone will be online.

Additional Options:

You can choose to receive tutoring in Spanish or use audio chat by changing your settings under “Preferences.”

All tutoring sessions are automatically recorded. To review a past session:
