Note: The Writing Lab at Bellevue College does not operate the services of eTutoring.
The availability of eTutoring for English/Writing is subject to change at short notice.
If you find eTutoring is unavailable, we welcome you to try out the King County Library System’s access to Brainfuse, a free tutoring service.
If you don’t have a KCLS library card, you still can have access by putting the letters BVC before your student ID number and using that as your library barcode number to access the county library services (and your PIN is the last four numbers of your student ID number).
Want help with resume and cover letter content?
