Tudor

Introducing Tudor, a peer-to-peer education service.

Inspiration

The instruction of our peers is one of the most beneficial tools as a student. Accessing the school community's peer knowledge resource and ensuring that students can get the help they need is our focus.

What it does

Allows students attending a common university to peer-to-peer tutor one another based on location and convenience for students (for pay or community service).

How we built it

Utilizing our combined experience of various coding languages, we focused on web development as a new learning opportunity for each of us. We executed the frontend through ReactJS and HTML, backend through Node.js, JSON, MongoDB Express.

Challenges we ran into

Getting started with our software and understanding bugs in the code to turn our idea into a reality. We struggled to execute and learn new languages.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We learned new languages, the use of different IDEs and systems to solve bugs in our code. Additionally, connecting the front and back end to create a seamless and cohesive product was a satisfying challenge to solve.

What we learned

How to use MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node), as well as Git. We coded collaboratively and used GitHub extensively to document the changes to our work and ensure we could always get back to a working model.

What's next for Tudor

We will implement further systems that can optimize the student experience, by including specific locational availability of tutors for students and making the system universally accessible through intuitive UI for better user understanding. Our team will center peer tutors of different knowledges, including cultural and lingual understandings for a better user experience.

Created by

I worked in the back-end to manage the data from the MongoDB database using Node.js. As someone without any experience in JavaScript, this was quite intimidating, but I learned quite a lot about fullstack development from this project

Frank Kong
Worked on the backend in collaboration with team members to develop a rest api with GET POST functions. As someone with no major backend development experience it was very intimidating but I learned

I also implemented the registration system, and connect the react front end to the backend

Bhuvan Chaudhary
I worked in the front end of the program, using HTML, CSS and ReactJS. I collaborated with my team through Git and GitHub. This was new to me and I modified the website's information, specifications and formatting.
