AbelXeon/TutorLink

A monolithic Laravel web platform connecting verified private tutors and students across Ethiopia for academic and programming support. **Live Demo → tutorlink-km9e.onrender.com** ## About TutorLink In most communities, finding a tutor still works the same way it did decades ago: a parent asks a neighbor, a neighbor asks a friend, and eventually someone knows "a guy who teaches math." There's no way to compare qualifications, see real availability, check pricing up front, or read what other parents and students actually thought of that tutor. It's slow, it's limited to whoever happens to be in your immediate circle, and it leaves a lot of good tutors undiscovered. **TutorLink replaces that word-of-mouth chain with an open, searchable marketplace.** - **Learners** — whether that's a parent booking lessons for their child, or an adult picking up a new subject or skill for themselves — can search verified tutors by subject, category, city, sub-city, and teaching mode (online, in-person, or hybrid), then book a lesson directly against a tutor's real weekly availability. - **Tutors** — anyone with expertise to teach, academic or technical — can build a public profile, set their own hourly rate, define their availability, and start receiving booking requests, without needing to already know their students. The platform handles the entire relationship end-to-end: discovery, booking, scheduling, in-app messaging, and post-lesson reviews — so trust is built on verified profiles and real feedback, not just who happens to live nearby. --- ## Table of Contents - Key Features - Tech Stack - Live Demo - Getting Started - Project Structure - Design System - Roadmap - Contributing - License - Contact --- ## Key Features ### For Students / Learners - Account registration with email verification (6-digit code, resend cooldown) - Search and filter tutors by city, sub-city, category, subject, and teaching mode - Detailed tutor profiles: qualifications, experience, rate, weekly schedule, and student reviews - Interactive booking flow — pick an available day from a live calendar, then a specific open time …
