TutorHub

About

  • Product designer

This was a project worked on for a User Experience class at my university. Our goal was to create a mobile application where students could find tutors or become a tutor for side income.

Problem

A lot of students need help in courses but can’t find available tutors. Meanwhile, a lot of highly qualified tutors can’t find students who need their help.

Research

We performed an expert user interview and gained more insight into the problem of how and why there are scheduling conflicts.

This expert user was a tutor who had:

  • Outstanding qualifications

  • High anonymous ratings

  • Vast knowlege/experience as a tutor

  • Allow tutors to post themselves in order to let students reach out to tutors

  • Allow both parties to have autonomy and control over their actions within the application

  • Allow new users to fully experience the product/solution of TutorHub

  • Smooth communication between tutors and students in order to form chatting and scheduling

Wireframes

We simulated our design flow with multiple potential users using hand-drawn wireframes.

Collecting feedback and suggestions, we iterated the designs on Figma.

We built a frontend prototype with React to demo how the application would work.

What I learned

Mobile app constraints

There are a lot of limitations on what can be shown on mobile versus a web application. This project would be a great challenge to complete cross-platform.
