A student clicks 'Join Session' and lands in a live whiteboard with their tutor already annotating a calculus problem — no app downloads, no link-juggling, no third tab for payments. Online tutoring website development ships a single application where video sessions, scheduling, homework uploads, progress dashboards, and payment splits live in one stack. Your tutors stop switching between Calendly, Zoom, Google Drive, and PayPal. Your students see their skill growth mapped session-to-session. Your business keeps the margin that Wyzant or Preply would take. Built on Next.js and WebRTC, the platform scales from 10 tutors to 1,000 without re-platforming or losing payout control.

Veelgestelde vragen
How long does it take to build an online tutoring website?
A fully featured tutoring platform typically takes 10-12 weeks from discovery to launch. Simpler MVP versions with video, scheduling, and payments can ship in 6-8 weeks. Timeline depends on custom features like AI-powered matching or LMS integrations. We scope everything upfront so there are no surprises.
What does it cost to develop a custom tutoring platform?
Custom tutoring platforms start at $12,000 for a solid MVP with video sessions, scheduling, and payment processing. Feature-rich platforms with tutor marketplaces, progress analytics, and mobile apps range from $18,000-$25,000+. We use fixed-fee pricing so your budget is locked before development begins.
Can students and tutors use the platform on mobile devices?
Every platform we build is mobile-first and responsive. Students and tutors get the full experience — video sessions, scheduling, messaging, and payments — on any device with a modern browser. If you need native iOS/Android apps, we can build those as a second phase using React Native.
How do you handle video calling for tutoring sessions?
We use WebRTC for low-latency peer-to-peer video with fallback to TURN servers for restricted networks. Sessions include screen sharing, collaborative whiteboard, and optional recording. The video infrastructure scales to support hundreds of concurrent sessions without degradation. No third-party app downloads required.
Can tutors set their own rates and availability?
Absolutely. Tutors get a self-service dashboard to set hourly rates, define availability windows, block off dates, and manage recurring sessions. The platform handles timezone conversion automatically. You can also set platform-level rate floors or caps if you want pricing consistency across your marketplace.
Do you integrate with existing school or LMS systems?
Yes. We build integrations with popular LMS platforms like Canvas, Moodle, and Google Classroom via their APIs. Student rosters, assignments, and grade data can sync bidirectionally. For schools using SIS platforms like PowerSchool, we build custom connectors to keep student data in sync.
