Project Details
What we need
- Familiar with Wix, Simplybook or similar existing platforms that provide an effective system to track online bookings.
- Website & software application designing or maintaining to suite our needs.
- Proficient in JavaScript, HTML, and have experience in programming applications.
Background
Because our students do not normally have the opportunity to speak or practice English at home, an online platform for students to book a volunteer tutor to practice English will immensely build up their confidence.
What we have
We have a comprehensive plan to develop the B&B free online English learning platform which connects students and volunteer tutors through video chat. This site allows students to book 1-on-1 sessions to practice useful English conversation and interview skills.
Why this is important
With a user-friendly platform, students can easily access the volunteer tutors for booking.
