Modernizing a Tutoring Marketplace with Scalable Tech and Secure Payments
Challenges We Faced
Fragmented Tutor–Parent Coordination: Manual workflows for scheduling, communication, and payments made it difficult for parents and tutors to stay aligned.
Legacy Front-End Limitations: The existing Angular 4 setup created upgrade bottlenecks and restricted feature releases, slowing down innovation and scalability.
Rigid System Architecture: Hardcoded logic for geofencing, promotional rules, and pricing structures made adapting to new business rules complex and time-consuming.
Inconsistent User Experience: The monolithic structure lacked modularity, leading to inconsistent performance across tutor, parent, and admin interfaces.
The client required a modern, scalable platform that could improve operations, simplify tutor-parent interactions, and support national expansion.
