Inspiration

  • "My roommate (Ryann) was offered a tutoring job a check for $3000. It was a crazy amount of money for just four weeks of work. He was suspicious of the check and to prevent situations like this from happening again, we have created Tuder." - Ben Kosten

  • "I didn't like Kumon enough" - Hyunwoo Do

What it does

  • Tuder matches students with tutors based on preferred courses, subjects, availability, and expertise
  • Provides a messaging platform for tutors to communicate effectively to students

How we built it

  • Used vue-cli to initialize a blank project and installed Vuetify for its material design components.
  • The server and database service were made in nodejs with mongoose driver.

Challenges we ran into

  • HTML is hard.
  • mongodb would only work half the time.
  • git checkout deleted all of the client source files. (at approx 5am)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • sick domain http://tuder.me
  • parses current RPI classes and displays / organizes them
  • Whipped up a backend, front-end and database REAL QUICK!

What we learned

  • Some learned html
  • Some learned the powers of caffeine
  • Everyone took away a new skill, for some html for others it was how to restore cached sublime files...

What's next for Tuder

  • Location support for other universities.
  • Messaging service.
  • Matching algorithm based on weight summation.
