Fort Lauderdale, FL (April 2, 2024) ⁠— Barron’s, owned by global educational services provider Kaplan, announces it has partnered with Brainfuse, a leading provider of online tutoring services and academic resources, to provide Barron’s premium content with Brainfuse tutoring services to schools and libraries. This collaboration aims to provide schools and libraries with a comprehensive learning solution that combines Barron’s high-quality content with Brainfuse’s personalized tutoring services.

Brainfuse will offer Barron’s Premium Bookshelf to public libraries on their innovative learning platform for core academic subjects and college admissions exams like the SAT^®, ACT^®, and Advanced Placement^®. Additionally, Barron’s AP Premium Bookshelf will be offered by Brainfuse to schools and includes live 1:1, online tutoring, along with Barron’s expert books. With the click of a button, students can get help from subject matter experts in an interactive interface. Lastly, Barron’s SAT/ACT Premium Bookshelf introduces a groundbreaking dual approach to test preparation for schools across the nation.

“Barron’s is a household name in test preparation, and we’re thrilled to partner with them to empower students to excel academically and reach their full potential,” said Brainfuse CEO Francesco Lecciso. “By combining Barron’s trusted content with Brainfuse’s personalized tutoring, we’re creating a comprehensive learning solution that gives students the tools they need to succeed in school and on standardized tests.”

Tartaro adds that this partnership comes on the heels of the biggest changes to the SAT in its nearly 100 year history.
