Home Tuition Finder App

Finding a home tutor still runs on word of mouth: parents ask neighbours, call numbers from pamphlets, and discover a tutor's teaching quality only after paying for a month. Tutors, meanwhile, struggle to reach students beyond their immediate locality. This project builds a proper two-sided tuition marketplace: tutor profiles with qualifications, subjects, fees, experience and verified badges; a search with subject, class, locality, fee-range and mode (home/online) filters; ratings and written reviews from past students; and a demo-class booking flow where parents pick day and time slots and the tutor confirms. The free-demo-first model removes the trust barrier — parents judge the teaching before committing to a month. The demo ships with realistic tutor profiles, reviews and bookings so every screen works immediately.

1. A tutor registers with qualifications, subjects, fees and availability, and submits ID documents for verification.
2. Admin reviews the documents and activates the profile with a verified badge.
3. Parents search by subject, class and locality, and filter by fee, rating and teaching mode.
4. Opening a profile shows the tutor's background, subjects, fee, reviews and ratings from past students.
5. The parent picks preferred days and a time slot and submits a free-demo request with the student's details.
6. The tutor confirms (or suggests an alternative slot); both sides receive the booking with a reference number.
7. After the demo, the parent can convert to regular classes and later leave a rating and review.

Tech stack:

• Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (responsive)
• Backend: PHP (Laravel) or Node.js + Express
• Database: MySQL (tutors, subjects, bookings, reviews)
• Search: full-text + faceted filtering
• Auth: role-based (parent, tutor, admin)
• Notifications: email/SMS stubs for booking confirmations
• Deployment: shared hosting or VPS

• [Verified tutor profiles] Qualifications, subjects, classes taught, fees, experience, languages and teaching mode, with ID and background-check badges.
• [Powerful search & filters] Search by subject and class, filter by locality, fee range, rating, gender preference and home/online mode.
• [Ratings & reviews] Star ratings plus written reviews from verified past students, shown on every tutor profile.
• [Free demo booking] Parents pick preferred days and time slots; the tutor confirms and both sides get the booking reference.
• [Tutor dashboard] Manage profile, subjects, availability slots, incoming demo requests and confirmed bookings.
• [Parent dashboard] Upcoming demos, booking history and saved/favourite tutors in one place.
• [Admin verification] New tutor registrations pass an admin review with document checks before profiles go live.

• Complete web application source code (frontend + backend)
• Database schema with migrations and seeded tutor/review data
• Search, profile, booking and dashboard modules for both sides
• Admin verification queue
• Project report PDF (background, system design, database schema, methodology)
• PPT presentation for final review
• Viva Q&A preparation document (marketplace design, search filtering, booking state machine)

• Tutor ID/background verification in the demo is a manual admin step; automated document verification is out of scope.
• Fee payments between parent and tutor are arranged offline — the app books demos and classes but does not process payments.
• Email/SMS booking notifications are implemented as stubs needing the buyer's own gateway credentials.
• The 60-tutor demo dataset is illustrative; a live city launch needs real tutor onboarding.
• Location search is locality-name based; map-radius search is listed in future scope.
