My name is Richard Ramsey and when I'm not helping students, I am busy trying to get my son to put down the video games. I like seeing different places and trying different foods (Hard to tell, right?). I also love playing pool. My eyesight isn't the greatest, but I still enjoy playing. I love to laugh and have fun. Life is too short and I think we need to have fun while we are here.

Subject Specialties:

Math, Statistics, English, but I will try to help with any subject. If we can't help you, we will find someone who can.

Brainfuse Online Tutoring

You may access this service through Blackboard. The link may already be available in your Blackboard courses, but if not, please go to HCTC’s Brainfuse link below!

Access HCTC's Brainfuse Hub Here!

We are here to help! Please take advantage of these tutoring services if you are having difficulties. Every HCTC student receives 7 hours of live online tutoring, available 24/7! HCTC has also incorporated its own tutors into the platform. You can schedule an appointment through Brainfuse using Tutor Match, and this will not take from your 7 hours of live tutoring.

FAQ

The time to seek assistance from a tutor is the minute you realize you need help. If you're still not sure, ask yourself these questions:

Am I falling behind in class?
Am I having trouble with homework assignments?
Have I done poorly on tests I have taken?
Do I have difficulty writing a paper?
Have I been flagged through Starfish or been referred by an instructor?

If you answered "Yes" to even one question above, you should visit a tutoring location soon.

The goal of the tutoring program is to provide the resources to help strengthen your knowledge and understanding of the material in your college classes. It also promotes the processes of active learning, independence, and motivation.

For remote tutoring, scheduling appointments virtually will vary depending on the tutor and their availability. Students can also drop-in when the tutoring center is open. This is all subject to change - please refer to the HCTC tutoring schedule listed above for the most accurate hours of operation.
