Problem
Traditional tutoring services often require fixed schedules, limiting access for students who need immediate help before a test or assignment deadline. Families also struggle to find tutors who match their child's specific curriculum, learning style, and scheduling needs, leading to ineffective or inconsistent support.
Solution
Viz provides an online tutoring platform that connects K-12 students with vetted tutors through both on-demand and scheduled sessions. Students can book last-minute help for test prep, homework, or concept review, or arrange ongoing sessions with a consistent tutor. The platform uses a custom matching algorithm that considers factors such as grade, school curriculum, subject, schedule, and learning preferences to pair students with a suitable tutor. Sessions take place in a virtual learning space equipped with a whiteboard, chat, video, and other tools to support interactive learning. Tutors are categorized into five levels based on their qualifications, allowing families to choose a price point that fits their needs.

Primary customers are K-12 students and their parents seeking flexible, personalized tutoring support, including those preparing for tests, completing homework, or needing ongoing academic assistance.
