Indian American students create app for on demand tutors
Two Indian-American computer science students in the US have created an education app that helps college students connect with tutors in the locality. Described as \"The Uber for Tutors\", the \"Scholarly\" app available as a free download on Google Play and in the Apple App Store helps users view tutor profiles, set meeting locations, and get help with their studies at the click of a button.
Houston: Two Indian-American computer science students in the US have created an education app that helps college students connect with tutors in the locality. Described as "The Uber for Tutors", the "Scholarly" app available as a free download on Google Play and in the Apple App Store helps users view tutor profiles, set meeting locations, and get help with their studies at the click of a button.
The app, that won the first place at the world's largest education Hackathon in October, has been created by Sultan Khan and Haasith Sanka of the University of California, Riverside (UCR). The way it works is simple: tutors create profiles, which can be viewed by students looking for help in a certain subject.
After setting a meeting location, the two parties can meet to untangle whatever academic knot a student is wrestling with. In addition to being easy, it's mutually beneficial. Tutors can earn extra cash, while students can get the academic help they need- all with no middle man other than a smartphone.
