Description
TutorTime Tutors is an online tutoring marketplace for parents, schoolchildren, students and teachers. The marketplace allows you to choose an individual tutor for any subject within the school curriculum, as well as extracurricular leisure activities (sports, art).

Parents and students can also register on the marketplace and choose a suitable tutor, book classes, get a homework assignment, and evaluate the teacher after classes.
Challenge
In order to make the system stable enough, our team had to solve a number of challenging tasks:
- Set up a single project infrastructure
- Transform a major part of the project to use Node.js instead of Ruby on Rails. It made the code more readable, and further changes easier to implement
- Cooperate with the product team on building new user flows
- Enlarge the system to satisfy new partners’ (schools) needs
Solutions
The A2 Design Team has transformed the app code base, so the app became more adaptive to further improvements
Impact
The A2 Design Team has achieved the following goals while working on the project:
- Updated the booking flow to a more convenient one
- Transformed the app code base, so the app became more adaptive to further improvements
- Enabled the product owner to manage different areas of the app, e.g admin could send notifications to users, download system reports, generate promo codes etc.
- Developed a white label booking service that helps new partners (schools) to find job for their graduated students
