Introduction

• One to One Tutor and student session management United Tutoring is an online platform for one-to-one tutoring. This online platform caters to two types of users: tutors who impart knowledge and students who seek knowledge. Students can use this platform to interact with registered tutors and get all their questions answered when they are having difficulty understanding a concept or want to learn something new. Besides improving their overall understanding of a subject or topic, this also assists them in trying out and learning something new. A user can be both a tutor as well as a student.

• Tutors must create an account and list their skills and experience in their expertise. Registered students can search by skill and obtain a list of tutors who specialize in that subject. Students can then go to each tutor's profile and arrange an appointment with whichever tutor appears to be pertinent to their question. Moreover, tutors will be able to enter their available dates and time range, which will subsequently be transformed into one-hour slots. A real-time schedule of tutors' slots will be available for students, and they will be able to schedule accordingly. When a student requests a booking, it appears on the tutor's my booking requests page. A link to a Zoom meeting will be sent to both participants if the tutor approves the booking request. If the tutor rejects the request, the student will receive an email notifying them of the rejection. Every hour, a Cronjob runs to update the status of sessions that have expired. In addition, tutors can view their entered availabilities and all requests, including accepted, rejected, and pending requests.
