Hello friends,

Its been almost a year since I launched the first version (MVP) of my Edtech site Sprout9.net to help students find tutors.

Now I am working on version 2 to improve it based on feedback I received from tutors and students.

I would welcome your thoughts and ideas.

Thanks again for helping and supporting me.

Thanks, Dang :)

I feel safe now that I know someone good is around to protect against the nasty baddies (envious and jealous bullies).

Hello friend, I am glad you like my idea of an online platform for students to find tutors.

I am not sure who the competition is exactly although I am sure there are plenty of companies offering tuition. I benefited immensely from remote affordable tutors during the Covid-19 pandemic lock down and realised there are many highly educated teachers out there who can teach online at around 1/3 of the local price. Hence the idea was born.

Screening and evaluating tutors, I have found an experienced teacher to help me interview and vet the tutors to make sure they are child-friendly, qualified and competent.

Hi Dang! It's nice to meet you! So far, the HN community have mostly been very nice and helpful. I'm sure that HN will be a great resource for learning especially from more experienced hackers!

Thanks a lot friend for your helpful comments and suggestions.

"Upcoming classes" placeholder page is a great idea.

"banking details" this for the tutors only so can pay them in different countries that Stripe may not support yet.

Stripe is being used for taking payments from students.

Thanks friend. I hope PGs YC HN wont do this. I like Paul Graham and he has given me some good advice on Twitter.
