Inspiration

Tutori.ai stems from the lack of worldwide 24/7 academic support. We believe everyone is deserving of academic support anytime, anywhere. With Tutori.ai, students and tutors can directly connect in a streamlined platform, eliminating all intermediaries, such as being referred by a friend of a friend. We envision that with Tutori.ai, no matter your background, location, or education level, you can find the help you need.

What it does

Tutori.AI is a service that streamlines connecting tutors and students for on-demand tutoring. Students can make tutoring requests, and tutors can filter through requests based on their expertise. Once you sign up, you have to option to request tutoring for your academic needs and give back as a tutor; there are no limits to what you can be! While Tutor.ai's primary goal is to connect tutors and students, it also fosters worldwide connections as your tutor/student can be from anywhere across the globe.

How we built it

  • React.js for core frontend
  • React-router for client navigation
  • Vite for quick frontend building
  • TailwindCSS for styling and simple transitions
  • Animxyz and React Fast Marquee for fancy transitions and animations
  • Firebase for rapid backend development

Challenges we ran into

  • We initially tried using Flask with Firebase, but it took us a while to realize we could call Firebase directly without Flask
  • We did not build with Next.js, so a lot of online UI components were not available as it was not worth rebuilding our entire project using Next.js by the time we were adding animations. However, we were able to find libraries that worked (shout out to React Fast Marquee and Animxyz!)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We have a finished product even though we are all first-time hackers (our front-end developer learned React the night before)
  • We learned a lot about Firebase, React, TailwindCSS, and Git versioning control amidst collaboration - working on a time forced us to learn a lot in a short amount of time

What we learned

  • When using React, build with Next.js from the get go
  • Sleep helps! Losing a few hours to sleep actually improves productivity

What's next for Tutori.ai

  • Creating a points based system where tutors earn points for every tutoring session. These points can be traded in for prizes, offering an incentive for tutors to tutor and keeping our platform free for all.
  • Add AI to suggest relevant requests to tutors
  • Rating system for tutors and students so users can see how reputable they are
