Tutor Dash | The Problem

Characteristics

Very limited scope. For example, ODU currently offers tutoring for 132 courses. With over 2400 courses available, this means ODU's tutoring services only cover about 5% of all courses. Over half of these available courses are under 300 level.
Tutoring centers aren't always available. For example, at ODU, campus tutoring services are only available an average of 40 hrs/week. With 168 hours in a week, only about 25% of all available time is being utilized.
University tutoring services are time-restricted to very narrow windows sometimes on only one or two days of the week. Some tutoring is exclusively by-appointment.
Studies suggest that more university students study at night than during the day. Let ODU be an example. The majority of ODU's tutoring services are exclusively offered during the daytime.
Information regarding several universitys' tutoring services is spread over various places on their websites which leads to multiple instances of misinformation.
Current information regarding when and where certain course-specific tutoring sessions is not always reliable, meaning that it is not uncommon for students who arrive at a tutoring center to discover no tutors are available for them.
Students who wish to seek tutoring outside of the university cannot always trust tutors since they are not verified by the university.
There currently doesn't exist an adequate tutoring platform for students who are looking to advertise their own tutoring services

Decentralized Resources

University tutoring is decentralized, there is a shortage of tutors and there is a surplus of underutilized student resources.

Advertising Difficulties

Students looking to advertise their own tutoring resources have difficulties finding the best platform to do so.

Endless Frustration

Students have difficulties finding, both university and private, tutors that best suit their specific needs.
