We are all familiar with Uber taxis. The name has become a global synonym associated with taxis. With the success of this technology as far as the taxi business is concerned, the idea that this same technology could be used for other services was born and was named “Uber for X” whereby the X stood for the service in question. One of the popular Uber for X concepts is Uber for tutors.
How the on demand apps for tutors works
These apps work by connecting students with tutors. Students can browse through the list of available tutors at a time that suits the student. Only those tutors that are available at the requested time will show up on the app.
Tutor profile and credentials, along with the review and ratings of each tutor will also be visible for the student to see and make an informed decision on which tutor is best suited to his needs.
Once a tutor accepts the request, he will be able to communicate directly with the student. The tutor will come to the student at the designated time, deliver the tutoring session.
These apps are with the latest state of the art technology whereby you can track the tutor via GPS, and rate and review the tutor.
