Some of the biggest obstacles we’ve encountered in providing real time tutoring services have been scheduling, travel, and tutor turnover. To address these obstacles, we are working on developing an application that will identify a tutee’s weakest topics and effectively match them with a tutor. This will supplement existing online tutoring programs, such as Khan Academy. The Online Assist Application will allow tutees to engage in live teaching sessions with tutors from UC San Diego, feature a dedicated calendar system to allow efficient scheduling, and show tutors the specific areas that their students need help with. By targeting the earliest weak points in a student’s understanding, we hope to prevent them from falling further behind with maximum efficiency on our end.
