EdTech Tool That Connects Peers To Study Better
Challenge
Our client came up with the idea to equip weak students with a platform that can serve as an alternative to existent tutoring agencies. The main technical requirement was to automate the
process of matching those who need tutors with the latest. Our team was also helping the client to figure out the scope of features needed for the third role, a head master.
The business model that we were helping with is unique in two categories. The role of tutors is given to bright although underage students, which in turn requires their school administration to oversee the whole process. What’s more, each school in Switzerland has its own educational program that
can be taught better by the tutors who know relevant educational materials. In case of underage
tutors, their qualification should be monitored and approved by school head masters.

Solution
Infinity Technologies approached the request as a technical partner to the project. We started from the inception stage where all the technical requirements were either elicited or developed from scratch and we included a dedicated Business Analyst into the core team of the project.
The solution we came up with includes three roles within the EdTech platform that we developed.
The student role can see the data about available peer tutors with their pics, brief bio, classes and time slots on their dashboards. They can also send tutoring requests via the dashboard. In case a student registers into the platform as a tutor, an easy process of approval follows, which in turn
generates a relevant dashboard and a list of classes that they can teach. Tutors’ dashboards can receive requests from their peers and the platform automatically generates tutoring contracts based on the requests. The head master role has all the admin user features that allow them to approve candidates for tutors, monitor students’ success, and oversee the statuses of signed contracts and automated payments.

Results
Infinity Technologies developed a platform that matches tutoring requests with qualified tutors, provides available time slots and locations, automatically generates contracts, and allows the admin role to oversee the process. Intuitive navigation and on the go booking capability of the platform adds to user friendliness of our product.
This EdTech solution that we implemented into Swiss school system saves students’ costs for the tutoring needs and boosts educational motivation of all the parties in general, be that weak students or their peer tutors. From the school management perspective, schools benefit from the level of knowledge of their graduates that’s gone up due to the platform’s usage as well as an easy and user friendly process of monitoring the process of peer tutorship.
Similar approach of matching is potentially applicable to many other industries and businesses; for instance, dentist cabinets, beauty salons, car repairs, real estate, etc.
