I was wondering when we were going to see something like this as this is an obvious next step in the pandemic era. Out of curiosity, who is the competition in this space? Also what is done to ensure that tutors are qualified and are there any plans to have them go through background checks?

Hello friend, I am glad you like my idea of an online platform for students to find tutors.

I am not sure who the competition is exactly although I am sure there are plenty of companies offering tuition. I benefited immensely from remote affordable tutors during the Covid-19 pandemic lock down and realised there are many highly educated teachers out there who can teach online at around 1/3 of the local price. Hence the idea was born.

Screening and evaluating tutors, I have found an experienced teacher to help me interview and vet the tutors to make sure they are child-friendly, qualified and competent.
