Aim:

This project has reached a point where I need to define a proper aim for it. I have noticed that there might be a market for very niché genres and topics that people might want to connect teachers and students better in. I want this project to be a tool they can use for just that! We will try our best to move forward in such a direction that it is more easily customisable and flexible.

Features:

• Login/Register/Sign Out functionality

• User Profile Management Along with Profile Picture Uploading Functionality For Teachers + Image Cropping

• Here is how the image cropping looks like

• Main page where students can search for teachers accordingly and filter them by Cost, Language, Most Recent/Oldest, Username, Teacher Description etc.

• Teacher profiles students can visit with a separate description for their profile that is different than the one that appears in listing page/search results.

• Contact button using which the student's message is sent to the teacher through email. Only 1 button usage/User is allowed for the students. The student can check a box which also sends in their phone number in the email.
