Dual-Curriculum Enquiry-Based

Platform Model

Managed 3rd-Party Marketplace with Standardized Sub-Level Pricing & Enquiry-Led Matching

SECTION 01

Project Overview & UX Philosophy

This platform serves as a secure, premium third-party bridge connecting school-board students (CBSE & IB) with highly vetted tutors.

Unlike open directories where users experience decision fatigue, this website utilizes a managed enquiry-based system.

Parents submit specific academic needs, and the system coordinates the perfect match at a standardized, non-negotiable price tier.

To ensure high retention and eliminate platform leakage, all operations—from registration and onboarding to live video classes, collaborative whiteboards, and post-session tracking—must occur seamlessly within the browser ecosystem without relying on external software like Zoom, Skype, or WhatsApp.

MODULE 01

The Multi-Step Student
Enquiry Funnel

The primary landing page must feature a high-conversion, low-friction, progressive multi-step enquiry form. It should adapt dynamically based on the student's curriculum selection to capture exact academic constraints.

01

Step 1: Core Curriculum & Identity Selection

  • Curriculum Switch: Large, interactive toggle buttons for CBSE or IB. Selecting either track instantly updates all subsequent dropdown arrays.
  • Grade/Program Selector:
    • If CBSE: Dynamic array displaying Class 5 through Class 12.
    • If IB: Dynamic array displaying MYP (Years 1–5), DP 1, and DP 2.
02

Step 2: Micro-Syllabus Diagnostics & Focus Area

  • Dynamic Subject Options: Filters by the specific curriculum and grade chosen (e.g., CBSE Class 10 Mathematics, IB DP Physics, etc.).
  • IB Split-Level Inputs (Triggered only if IB DP is selected): Radio toggles for Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL).
03

Step 3: Availability & Timezone Mapping

  • Visual Calendar Grid: A weekly calendar matrix (Monday–Sunday) divided into broad morning, afternoon, and evening blocks. Users tap/click time slots to state their availability.
  • Timezone Auto-Detection: System automatically detects and logs the user's local timezone to normalize scheduling across international borders.
MODULE 02

The Reverse Search Engine

(Tutor Job Board Interface)

On this platform, students do not search for tutors. Instead, verified tutors use a Backend Reverse Search Engine to discover anonymized student inquiries that match their specific subject credentials and availability.

Anonymized Enquiry Feed

Displays student requirements without revealing personal contact details. Card elements must highlight the curriculum, sub-level tier, specific topic requirements, weekly schedule parameters, and the fixed payout rate.

Granular Filtering System

Tutors can filter open leads by Board (CBSE vs. IB), Grade Range, Subject Expertise, and Time Slots matching their pre-configured personal calendar.

The "Express Interest" CTA

A single-click application mechanism. Tutors can apply to a maximum number of concurrent inquiries, prompting the platform administrator matching algorithm to finalize the pairing.

MODULE 05

Essential Operational Features & Safeguards

Persistent Digital Whiteboards

Any annotation, canvas sketch, or formula drawn during a live session must remain permanently accessible on both the student's and teacher's respective post-class dashboards for offline revision.

Automated Recording Playback Player

Class video streams are automatically archived in the cloud and displayed on the student's dashboard, acting as a key safety measure for minors and an invaluable review tool.

Mandatory Post-Class Log Input

At the conclusion of each session, the classroom locks into a quick 3-point form for the teacher: Concepts Covered, Student Progress Metric, and Homework Assigned. This log feeds directly into the parent portal interface.
