1. Logging In 

Once your Tutor account has been created and approved for the subjects you wish to tutor for, visit Brainfuse's Login Page to login to your tutoring account.

2. Downloading QuickConnect 

Upon logging into your tutoring account you will see your Tutor Homepage. Once on this page, you will need to download QuickConnect if it is your first time tutoring. The QuickConnect Desktop Application via Brainfuse allows you to access the Brainfuse platform via your desktop.  Utilizing this feature can help eliminate technical issues that you may encounter via the website. 

To download the QuickConnect Desktop Application, log into Brainfuse with your Tutor credentials.  Under the Miscellaneous tab, click Download Center.  

After you click Download Center, you will see the following screen.  Choose the appropriate option based on whether you have a PC or a MAC.  

Once you make your selection, you will be taken to an instructions screen similar to the below.  Click on the link under the first box to begin installation.  

After installation, the application will open as below.  Enter your credentials to log in.  

Once you log in, you will have access to many of the same Brainfuse applications as the website.  
 

3. How to schedule a On-Call (Instant Access) Session

Once you log into Brainfuse with your username and password, you will see following table showing scheduled session for the day (if there are any).
