Over the past 2 years, I’ve been building TutorMeet, a tutoring platform and ecosystem focused on tutor matching and career progression in Singapore. We are still deep in development but a bulk of the features we are planning on top of the core system comes from conversations with people.

I think some of the things that suprised me were:

• We had more than a few tutors tell us they were lucky they had an understanding spouse. I was a little shocked, because these were tutors who have been teaching for many years. Still, they didnt seem to see it as a career?
• Some parents engage and change tutors for up to 3 months just looking for the right one... it's basically trial and error. For. 3. months.
• There's suprisingly little safeguards against tutors who lie about their achievements and CV.
• When asked about LMS, a lot more tutors are against the idea of using it due to it being more complex to use instead of making things simpler and quicker for them

Curious what other things really annoy you when it comes to tutoring or finding a tutor... let's see if we can design something around it.
