Problem
Students and parents often struggle to find qualified private tutors who match their specific subject needs, teaching style preferences, and logistical requirements, while tutors face limited visibility and must rely on agencies that charge fees or restrict pricing.
Solution
TutorDex provides an open, online marketplace that directly connects tutors with students for in‑home or virtual sessions. Tutors create comprehensive profiles showcasing qualifications, experience, teaching methods, travel preferences, and student feedback, allowing them to set their own rates. After completing identity verification and reference checks, tutors become searchable by merit, enabling tutees to select the most relevant tutor for their learning goals. The platform is free to join, and its matching process is driven by transparent profile information rather than agency intermediaries.
