ABSTRACT
This project is to build an online private
tutor finder system for academic purposes. The system will be built is a native
mobile application which includes the development of the frontend and backend,
with incorporation of external APIs to build a whole functioning application.
The application will need to support three party which are students, parents,
and tutors. At first, through researching in the existing market of the
relevant application, there are five problem that has been found which are most
of the application does not support the learning of students with learning
disordered, lack of time management system, lack of location approximation,
lack of mini game section, and lack of a proper payment system. The research is
conducted through reading journal articles, checking on the statistics of the
students with special needs through Malaysian Government Website, and
personally testing and review the existing application in the market. Then
later in the project, the method of development is written as a proposal to
building the application from scratch, where building the frontend design of
the application then incorporate it with backend programming later in the
project, which allow get and fetch of the data through database, and a proper
payment system that is proposed to be
added into the application

Getting a tutor for children is a headache
for parents throughout the decades. Parents need to venture out every place to
look for a qualified tutor and register for their children to enroll in the
courses. Creating an online private tutor finder system can help in resolving
this problem as much to reduce the extra efforts for parents to venture out
through allowing using the mobile phones to look for qualified private tutors
for every subject. As far as today, there are only 39 relevant applications
that are available in Google Play Store [1]. In Malaysia, private tutor is a
norm within the culture of parenting, parents want their children to be more
competent in the future. Parents are very much willing to give the children the
education they deserve and allow them to get a better head start in terms of
education with the added advantage of private tutors.
In another point
of view, tutors also have a hard time especially for those newcomers in the
market. Just like the other occupations in old times, before the digital
revolution, all newcomers need a long time to adapt to the market and find
their own way in promoting their business. Basically, it takes a generous
amount of time to get their business up and running like how they wanted it to
be. However, after the digital revolution, there are many things that have been
digitalized and moved towards information technology as well as education. As
well for private tutoring, from marketing the business in physical form, with
the help of private tutor finder system, private tutor can ease their work and
go online to promote themselves and get a much easier way to start their
business, they get to also increase their longevity of business too [2].
Besides, the existing application such as “Wyzant – Find Expert Tutors” [3] [4]， has proven to
be helpful for the private tutors when conducting their session through the
application and helped them to manage their business effectively.
From the perspective of
students, private tutor finder meant a lot for them as it gives them a clear
head start when comparing to the others. Private tutoring is not only subjected
to learning topics that have been taught in schools, but rather it is a choice
of freedom where the students get to choose whatever subject they wanted to
learn. However, in the context of this project, private tutoring is referring
to academic purposes. Students can enhance their academic performance through
receiving private tutoring as the tutor get to teach them in a more
personalized fashion instead of the way tutors teach in schools where they need
to teach a large group of students, implies on the way of teaching need to be
generalized and equal. In addition, with online private tutor finder system,
students also get the advantage of choosing the subject they wanted to improve
through the application and get their hands on extra study materials and guidance.
Although the existing application
are serving their purposes in fulfilling the objective of the application,
there are still problems that can be found in them both in terms of technical
and non-technical. The applications in this field are found not mature enough
for the current market and there are times when it cannot fulfill everyone’s
needs. Below shows the problem that can be found after researching the relevant
applications and studies:
Learning disorder is someone that has
learning difficulties in study. In general, there are five major types of
learning disorders, which are Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD), Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Dyspraxia [5]. Having mentioned
learning disorders greatly affect the students in learning. Without a proper
guided education system, these users could not be what they wanted to be, where
this is to ensure even the minority of society needed to be taken care of,
given if it is able to be helped. Given the current special needs school under
the management of Malaysia government has only 34 schools throughout the whole
country [6], while the registered students under the special needs category are
at 162,018 students as of 2019 according to the Minister of Education [7]
Hence emphasizing
the importance of having a feature that allows this group to access the
learning materials and the right to get educated as a human being, but the
existing application does not provide the feature that is needed for these
group. This created a problem towards this field of users, especially the
parent of the disordered, whereby the parents need to educate and guide the
children by themselves which causes stress to build up quickly. Since the
existing application solely provide the services to the normal students, there
is a great opportunity for an application providing option for the learning
disordered a chance to receive specialize education system; rather forcing them
to take the classes like the other normal students. One increases the number of
system users; one decreases the stress of the needy students.
In Malaysia alone, as
of 2017 there are 453,258 registered people with disabilities (PWD) and from it
there are 34.8% of PWD is registered under learning disabilities [8]. While
limiting the sample size in Malaysia, it is a great opportunity to allow these
students to join in to learn. Everyone deserves to learn and gain knowledge,
and it should not be limited due to the congenital disadvantage of the
children.
From the reviewed application, there are
not much application that provides an all-in-one platform solution that can
fully serve the purpose of conducting online private tuition. Aside from using
Google’s proprietary products, and Microsoft Teams which is designed for large
organizations. An application that provides services to allow users to manage
everything without exiting will be a great plus. Giving tutors functions such as
course management system, allow students to get a student management system,
and a children management system for parents as a package would benefit the
users without having the hustle to open different application to perform
different activities.
As in today’s world,
there is too much software that serves different purposes, but most of the
existing software focuses only on one function instead of the minor details
that can greatly impact the user experience towards the software. As per said
in user experience, it is not about the aesthetical standpoint of the
application, instead it is the functionalities of the application. If one
application is able to focus on one main function but also having the minor
features to support the user throughout the use of the application, it will be
a great experience for the user.
With the current movement of technology,
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning brought a lot to the table.
Specifically, generative AI such as ChatGPT [9] has brought a lot of benefits
to humankind. It helps everyone no matter the user is a student, workers or
anyone else. It acted as a source of idea that can be a key to inspire people
and come up with great ideas in solving problems. Same goes for student who are
struggling with their coursework, sometimes “Google-ing” the answer may not be as
good as prompting ChatGPT or any other GPT services. Using the new technology
can increase the effectiveness of searching for answer and the efficiency in
learning process. The new trend needs to be integrated with the application
just to allow the students to get more interactive learning environment with
implementing a GPT into the system
With all the problem that persist in the
existing online private tutor finder system, it is crucial to integrate new
technology into the education in general. Plus getting involvement of AI in
education will not totally harm the student, instead guiding them to properly
use them as a tool to assist in completing hard tasks. GPTs are not perfect,
but the beauty of the AI is that it allows blooms of idea whereby a response
from GPT may get the students to think of a new idea or way to solve the
problem.
The aim of the project is to contribute to
the field of private tutor. Private tutoring has been a culture norm in Asia
culture, especially in Malaysia. Those who got the spending power will allow
their children to enroll in private tuition, taking their extra academic
session with the private tutors. With the proposed application, all parties
from parents, students, and tutors get benefits from it. Parents will get to
ease their workload when looking for a reputable, and suitable tutor to guide
their children in academic study and hopefully excel in exams. For the tutors,
it provides one additional platform to market themselves in the private tutor
field. It is true especially for the newcomers to this market. Due to the
digitalization of every business sector, setting head start in online platform
will be a great choice to find success in near future. At last, online private
tutor system would greatly help students to either increase their academic
performance through the flexibility of getting education online. Student can
get their course material anytime and anywhere, as well as having a flexible
study time.
In addition to that,
with a well featured online private tutor finder system, the user based will
have a reason to maintain their active status within the application and get to
increase the longevity of the program.
This project is expected to complete
the online private tutor finder system, which is capable for finding a private
tutor, a student management system, a GPT system for students, and features to
provide quality-of-life for the user. The project is targeting the parents,
students, and tutors that require a platform to achieve their aims effectively
and efficiently.
The proposed application equipped with a
GPT model, a channel for tutors conducting activity with the students, an
essential modules time management system, and the most important is to allow
every student from different difficulties to get their right in educations.
Through the strategy and the problem that exist in current systems, the
proposed system will be a way to compromise and solve all the existing
problems.
The things that made
the application better is the additional of a specialized section towards the
students with learning disorder. After researching the existing applications
from Google Play Store, I would say there are no private tutor application yet
to aid the needy person who need specialized teachings method. By creating a
system to cope them is beneficial not only the needy students but also to
encourage and inform the public where the importance of the right of receiving
education for all human being.
The details of this project are shown in
the following chapters. In Chapter 2, some similar systems are reviewed. In
Chapter 3, a list system development approach. Then, Chapter 4 describes the
system design of the online private tutor finder system. Chapter 5 describes
the development of the system. In Chapter 6, system evaluation will be
described with testing.
