Scheduling: The website allows the student to choose a time from their desired coach and their time availability. Messaging: We have integrated messaging features which students can use to directly dm coaches about booking lessons or any questions they may have. How we built it Tech Stack: React, TypeScript (Frontend), Python, FastAPI (Backend), and MongoDB (Database).
