Problem
Students and parents often struggle to find tutors who are a good fit for their learning style, course level, and schedule, leading to wasted time and money on mismatched sessions. Independent tutors face high agency fees (20–60%) and administrative burdens like scheduling, payment processing, and tax reporting that distract from teaching.
Solution
DiscoverTutor connects students directly with independent tutors through a compatibility-based matching system that shows a percentage match before booking. The platform provides instant scheduling with calendar sync, secure payments via Stripe, and automated reminders through pop-up, text, or email. Tutors can set their availability once, offer personal or public discounts, and generate one-click tax reports. Students benefit from homework practice tracking, progress portfolios that compile session recaps, and transparent ratings and reviews from real sessions.
Target Audience
Primary users are post-secondary students at Canadian universities and colleges, K-12 students and their parents, and independent tutors seeking to manage their own tutoring business without agency overhead.
