Development of a Comprehensive Online Tutoring Platform: A Case Study

Client’s Business Goal:

The client wanted to create a simple platform for online tutoring. Their plan was to make a mobile app and website where students could request one-on-one tutoring classes by selecting the subject, grade level, preferred tutor gender, and class duration. Tutors matching the request could then send price offers.

The platform would have secure payments so students could easily pay for booked classes. It would also have video calling for the actual tutoring sessions. The mobile app needed to work well on both iOS and Android devices. Overall, the goal was a user-friendly way for students and tutors to connect for online classes.

Problems/Challenges

2.Integrating secure payment gateways and managing refund processes seamlessly.
3.Implementing a robust video conferencing solution for conducting tutoring sessions.
4.Ensuring scalability and performance to handle a large volume of users and concurrent sessions.
5.Maintaining multilingual support (Arabic and English) throughout the platform.
6.Designing an intuitive and user-friendly interface for both mobile apps and the web platform.
