7 BASIC FEATURES OF TUTOR APP

Covid has changed the world up and down, and it had a huge effect on children’s education. It’s been almost a year that the schools are not functioning properly and students are seeking the support of online tutor platforms to learn. Many people have taken advantage of it and have started an online tutoring platform to provide education and courses to improve their skills.

If you are the one who is planning to get a tutor application for your online education business, there are few things you should know. There is no problem if you are not providing advanced features in your application, but a lack of basic features can affect the credibility of your services.

Make sure your app is not like boring classes, it should be interesting to hold the attention of the students for a long time. Education should be fun, especially when it is online.

Here is the list of basic features, that one must consider while looking for a tutor app development service:

1. Sign in

You must be looking forward to the maximum download and use of your application. Now, with advanced technology, filling long forms is as old as the idea of life without a mobile phone. In this fast-moving world, no one wants to waste their time just signing in to any application.

Keep the sign-in setup easy and short. Along with the option of entering mail, you can offer the opportunity of entering into the app with Facebook or other social media applications. If you don’t like the idea of using social media for signup, then ask for the basic information like email, name, age, and contact number as the signup form.

The signup page is the first page visited by your user, make sure he/she doesn’t run away due to a poor and boring setup. The internal features will be the secondary thing, some users might end up uninstalling the app due to poor login setup. Visitors are coming on your platform to learn something, not to fill in the long basic information.

2. Search Option

The first thing a user will do after login the application is to look for the desired course. The user will not be expecting to search page-wise or course-wise to find the required course. He/she must be expecting a search option to simply find the course after entering the name.

The search option is now the basic function the user expects in each type of application. All the on-demand tutor app development must include long/short tail keywords to broaden the scope of keywords to find the relevant course. The auto-correction of keywords will help the user to find the course landing page automatically.

3. Top Courses

Displaying your top courses on the main page offers a broad perspective to the visitor about the availability of different courses on your tutor application. You gotta show your courses to sell them. List out the best-reviewed courses on the home page and let the positive feedback about the courses have a positive impact on first-time users.

Showing off a list of multiple courses will raise the interest of people in taking courses from your site.

4. Offline Access to the courses

Offline access to the courses is a must-have feature on the tutor app. Your visitor might not be available online all the time and looking forward to maximizing the use of applications to learn anywhere and anytime. Availability of offline courses will ease the experience of learning.

Entertainment applications like Netflix and Prime Video allow you to download the content in the app and watch it later on the offline mode.

5. Dashboard

Building an application is not all about designing the same application which is available in the market. To sell your product, you gotta stand out from the rest. Your personal dashboard is the main attention seeker. Include showing the app on the dashboard based on browsing history, purchase history, and courses purchased together.

Moreover, you can show the progress report and learning statistics on the dashboard. This will encourage the user to perform better. A leader board feature can be included for the test series option, where you can show the best performers’ names and the results.

This small personalized feature attracts users to your application. Hire a professional app development services provider for best results.

6. Assessment and Quiz

Assessment and quizzes are all about assessing the growth of a student. Educating students without examining them is like delivering the pizza without toppings. Quizzes are two-way interaction and it helps the students to analyse their growth on the specific topic or course.

However, the quizzes should not be plain like just answering the questions like sitting in the exam hall. Tutor businesses can use gamification to make the assessment time interesting.

Students like to take revision and they might be repeating the same question for better preparation. Offer them multiple test series for the topics, to help them in preparing well.

You can show the number of stars, marks, or candies after the completion of the respective test based on their performance. This will motivate the student to perform better and take quizzes more often to analyse their preparation.

7. Transcripts and one to one interaction

Online education is all about minimizing the physical workload of a student while learning. Transcripts of the videos and online lectures work great on both online and offline modes. Make sure they can download the transcript as the notes. Sometimes, a student might not understand the accent of the tutor and end up feeling irritated. That time transcripts save you from losing your user.

Also, you can offer to make sure you are providing them the opportunity of one-to-one interaction with the tutor to clear their doubts. No matter how fast and well descriptive the course is, sometimes students end up at the dead-end, and at that time professional tutors can help them.
