TutrTrade

Built by Arjun Sarao & Connor Wilson

Inspiration

With the shift to online learning models, accessing homework help has been severely impacted. Getting help on a question or two by asking a classmate has become a challenge. While websites like Chegg or Course Hero exist, they are paid, which seems unreasonable to average students. We created an app that used in-house currency that can be earned by answering questions.

What it does

TutrTrade is a peer-to-peer tutoring app that lets people post requests for question completion or tutoring sessions. People can then take these requests, once a teacher and student have been connected, we set up a texting channel between the two and they solve the problem. Once the goal or solution has been reached, the student can then end the session and rate the tutor. Concurrently, coins are deposited from the students account to the teachers.

How we built it

We started by looking for inspiration on dribble, after we had compiled a board of reference images. We started to create mockups on Adobe XD. Once that was completed we started the arduous process of recreating it in flutter. Finally, we created a framework on cloud firebase that would let us manage userdata (name, email, chat logs, etc.).
