Functions:
P2P
A p2p platform which allows different client to search for teachers.
2) Reviews
After each lesson or a period of lessons, students write a review and acknowledge the ability of the teacher. From this review system, students are more ensured to get a good teacher in future.
Teachers are also allowed to give reviews of students
3) Clear self introduction, hidden phone numbers and emails
Each teacher and student should have a clear page introducing him/herself.
Listing of hobbies, stating which subjects need help.
listing of personal achievements
hidden phone numbers and emails which prevent student to contact the teacher directly without using the platform
4) Communication messenger within the platform
Allow immediate enquiry and communication between teachers and students for follow up after each booking is made to ensure students are clear what to bring and where to go.
5) Clear calendar system
To show the availability of teachers and students and what time they will be teaching.
6) Schemes for students and teachers
In order to maintain students and teachers using this platform, a rewarding system should be introduced:
cash or service fee rebate after a period of lessons (100, 500,1000 lessons)
level system (similar to Weibo): using exp to show encourage them to use the platform, the higher level you are, the more chance of you being exposed to students which increase a chance of bookings.
