Approach
I have been running a home tuition platform for 4 years now. (Astar Tutors)
How it works?
- Tuition Agents find students then post a job on the platform
- Tutors apply for the job
- Tutors pay Tuition agents a portion of their fees
I have always been wondering: Is there any way to connect students directly with tutors?
Not an easy problem!
But...
With the advent of new social media trends (like TikTok), perhaps we can take some inspiration and make education creator-driven?
Ideas
Classy: Creator platform for tutors
I want to turn your average home tutor into a creator!
There are a million of great tutors out there and Classy is the platform for people to showcase their talents.
How do you stand out as a tutor in the crowded tuition industry?
