Problem
• It’s hard to advertise yourself and your skills effectively.
• It’s difficult to coordinate schedules.
For Tutors
For Tutees & Parents• It’s difficult and time
consuming to find a helpful tutor that you can trust.
An app that helps connect hardworking students with helpful, reliable tutors –
In other words, Tutera

Prototype Implementation Status
Tools Being Used
• Web application using Ruby on Rails
• Hosting on Heroku
• BUT, with the Xcode tool we plan to:- Create a (practically) empty
iPhone app- Loads a web browser that goes
to our site- Will work just like a regular app
(but won’t do anything without an internet connection)

Helper Techniques• No Wizard of Oz Techniques so far
• Hard-coded Data:
- We don’t have access to
enough tutors
to populate our search
- Lots of fake tutors, times,
locations, etc.
- Our database is fully
functional, so if we
had real data, it’d work
Prototype Time!
Thank you! Any questions?
