Description:
YapTutor is a live tutor marketplace which provides on demand study help/homework solutions for students of academic schools, colleges and universities in Bangladesh. YapTutor is being driven by the failure of standard education systems to cater to the unique needs of students, combined with growing parental desire to secure the best possible education for their children in a highly competitive global economy. YapTutor offers an innovative, highly personalized, and secure learning environment for today's stressed and distracted students, who are under increasing pressure to perform well in competitive entrance examinations for leading universities and colleges.
The Company intends to provide these services through 1-1 online virtual classroom where both student and tutor will connect to the virtual classroom using internet connected mobile device or computer.
YapTutor Competitive Advantage:
YapTutor provides 1-1 on-demand live tutoring service through real-time sharing of audio, video, slides, chat, and screen. Students are engaged through sharing of polling, and breakout rooms.
YapTutor has the following advantages compared to competitors:
High-quality real time audio and video between tutor and student for face-to-face conversation (low-quality connections can definitely prevent an online tutoring session from reaching that personal level)
Interactive whiteboard (this is where the magic that really lets the student and tutor feel connected through progress and collaboration happens)
An easy-to-use forum for communication between sessions (the tutor can build rapport for a constantly strengthening personal connection with student)
A scheduling system that makes it painless for the student and tutor to find a time that works (lets them focus on learning the material instead of messaging back and forth about when to schedule the next session)
We just completed four months pre seed accelerator program at Founder Institute, Dhaka Chapter during Sep-Dec, 2019 and became FI graduate. My business is all about 1-1 live tutoring/consulting. It's a 2 way interactive platform. I have developed my platform and now earnestly seeking some angel investment so that I can quit my day job and become full time in my startup with at least few full time employee. My platform can be used in several different ways like, live 1-1 tutoring (or 1-many), live 1-1 business consulting, live 1-1 tele-medicine services to consult patients via virtual session etc. It's a huge market in Bangladesh, there's no good competitor. So we can build and serve our target customers with intense care.
