Mobile Application (Android)

Abstract / Introduction:

When a student or parents wants to search for a tutor, he/she must search through newspaper advertisement or asks from people around who can recommend a highly qualified and expert tutor with affordable fees. However, it become very difficult to find a suitable tutor if you don’t have any connections. The aim of this project is to develop an android based mobile application which help students/parents to instantly find and connect with thousands of professional and certified tutors at one place. This application will provide students a platform on their smart phones for finding the experts and tutors of their desired field/subject according to their qualification and experience.

The proposed mobile application will provide an efficient search engine which will help students to search using different filters (subject, location, qualification etc.). Based on the applied filters, the search engine will find the most relevant data and will display it to the user. Search by Location feature will also be integrated in the application so that the users can search for the tutors in their surrounding locations as well as the tutor can know from where the services are being requested. 

Finally, the application will allow the users to rate and give their reviews about any tutor and the services they provide which will make this application more useful for the users.

There will be two users of the Application 1) Student and 2) Tutor.
