Case Study - Private One-on-One 50 minute online lessons uniquely tailored for each student

Brief

Code Of Us embarked on an ambitious project to develop Teorem, an innovative online tutoring platform designed to provide personalized education through one-on-one sessions. Recognizing the growing demand for customized learning experiences, our team of five, including one analyst, three developers, and one product designer, set out to create a solution that would make high-quality education accessible to students of all ages, across all school subjects.

Challenge

The primary challenge faced by our team was to design a platform that was both highly interactive and user-friendly, capable of matching students with tutors based on specific learning needs and preferences. Additionally, ensuring the seamless integration of third-party whiteboard solutions and payment processing capabilities presented significant technical hurdles. Achieving a balance between functionality, usability, and performance within a tight development timeframe was paramount.

North Star Metric

Approach

Our approach centered on a phased development strategy, starting with an in-depth analysis to define precise user requirements and preferences. Utilizing agile methodologies, we maintained flexibility in our development process, allowing for iterative feedback and continuous improvement. Collaboration tools and regular communication within the team facilitated a cohesive development environment.

Discovery

In the discovery phase, extensive market research and user interviews helped us to identify key features that would differentiate Teorem from existing online tutoring platforms. This insight led to the prioritization of intuitive UI/UX design, robust tutor-student matching algorithms, and the integration of flexible scheduling options.
