Crowdsourcing platform for private tutoring (Tutor Society)

Abstract

Private tutoring in Malaysia is still quite young when compared to other countries in the world. Parents often find it quite difficult in finding the right tutors for their children in terms of cost and location wise. Our objectives served to create another cost-flexible alternative to finding private tutor that is closer, safer and more secure. The proposed product was introduced as Tutor Society, a crowdsourcing platform that offers services for private tutoring via crowd-sourcing private tutors available in the localized area. The proposed system was successfully developed albeit being the first version and the business modal was also developed and refined to suit other competitors and Malaysian structure. Several similar platform was found to exist however; the market is still big and therefore there are still opportunities to be taken. Further improvement was required to improve the interface of the system to make it more user friendly and strengthen Tutor Society branding. More aggressive and proactive marketing are also needed to ensure audiences are aware of our presences.
