Description

Executive Summary:
Agora Tutoring is an online marketplace akin to Kijiji, equipped with a map function similar to Uber, specializing in connecting students with local tutors for in-person educational sessions.

Company Overview:
Agora Tutoring is an online dedicated platform that connects students with local tutors for in-person educational sessions. By focusing exclusively on face-to-face interactions, Agora Tutoring aims to foster a more personalized and effective learning experience. The platform serves as a bridge between students seeking tailored educational support and independent tutors looking for meaningful teaching opportunities in their local areas.

Services:
Agora Tutoring provides a user-friendly web platform where students can search for and connect with tutors across a variety of subjects and educational levels. The service is designed to facilitate in-person tutoring engagements, enabling direct interaction and hands-on learning that virtual platforms cannot replicate.

Business Model:
Agora operates on a subscription-based model where users pay a monthly fee to access the platform and connect with tutors. Tutors, as independent contractors, set their own rates and schedules by connecting through Agora Tutoring. This model ensures a steady revenue stream for the platform while also providing tutors with a consistent flow of potential students.

Target Market:
The platform primarily targets students at all academic levels who prefer or require in-person tutoring to achieve their educational goals. This includes K-12 students, college students, and adult learners seeking professional development or personal enrichment in specific subjects. Parents looking for reliable and accessible tutors for their children are also a key demographic.

Strategic Goals:
Agora Tutoring aims to become the leading provider of in-person tutoring services within local communities. Strategic objectives include expanding its user base, increasing the number of tutors on the platform, and enhancing the overall user experience with features that make scheduling and session management more efficient for both students and tutors.

Competitive Advantage:
Agora Tutoring’s commitment to exclusively in-person tutoring sessions sets it apart in an era where virtual platforms are prevalent. This focus on local, face-to-face interactions not only improves learning outcomes but also builds a sense of community and trust among users. Additionally, the subscription model offers users unlimited access to potential tutoring, providing flexibility and value that single-session fees cannot match.
