Tutors Hub
A shipped tutor marketplace designed like a workflow engine, where the recovery path matters as much as the happy path.
Product context
Tutors Hub is a tutoring marketplace shaped as an operations workflow. A parent request is not a clean ecommerce transaction: requirements change, tutor constraints matter, and the operator needs recovery paths when a match fails.
Workflow model
The product organizes intake, assignment, tutor shortlisting, verification, matching, and payout-related work as explicit business state transitions. The system is designed around the handoffs between people, not only the public listing page.
Engineering decisions
- Next.js provides the onboarding and operator-facing product surface.
- Spring Boot owns the workflow-heavy backend direction.
- PostgreSQL/Supabase support relational state and identity workflows.
- Firebase supports notification needs.
- Sensitive data and role boundaries are treated as backend responsibilities.
Evidence and limits
This is a shipped product direction that demonstrates workflow modeling and product judgment. The portfolio does not claim a specific marketplace volume or a fully automated matching engine. Human review and operational recovery remain part of the design.
