Brainfuse tutors provide live, on-demand 24/7 support with academic writing; résumés, CVs, and cover letters; and statistics, no appointment necessary. You can also submit your written work to the Brainfuse Writing Lab for an email response within 24 hours. However, each Writing Lab submission will only be reviewed for 30 minutes, so do not submit longer works--use Adler's writing consultants instead.
Access Brainfuse through Canvas or in Connect.
