Task Goals
Access To Live Tutoring
Community Resources
Language Accessibility
Our Competitors
Upon research we noticed that almost none of the resources available offered language accessibility.
Our Solution
Create a website that provides online tutoring as well as the ability to filter language results for students whose first language is not English. Additionally, provide a space for community resources and support.
Users can now look at their school classes and look for a tutor based on the subject.
Users can also filter for language spoken when browsing for tutors. It is also easier than ever to book a meeting time with the selected tutor.
Lastly, users now have a community page where they can connect with peers.
The Outcome
Easy access for students in underfunded schools to access tutors.
Ability for non-English speaking students to find tutors within their language.
The beginnings of a community for first generation students and parents to connect.
