 SYNOPSIS

ONLINE TUTOR FINDER is a web-based application which is highly capable

of searching tutors in the least time and remove unnecessary hassles efficiently.
With this application the authenticated user can visit the site, see the profile of all
available tuition/tutor, their location, class of education. They also can make
connection with each other and communicate with each other through the
message system and get the right tuition for them. There is an administrative part
in the system including verify account, accept account. It is also facilitating to
take report about any tuition/tutor and take initiative about them.

1.1 ABOUT THE PROJECT

This is a web-based application which is highly capable of searching tutors in the least time
and remove unnecessary hassles efficiently. With this application the authenticated user can
visit the site, see the profile of all available tuition/tutor, their location, expected salary, class
of education. They also can make connection with each other and communicate with each
other through the message system and get the right tuition for them.

This project has been created for an online search portal for placements in order to find a tuition.
Check the tuition-seekers/students list which is available for tuition / tutor and apply for tuition.
Tutor / Student login to upload their information with their qualification/ requirement. Then
after checking the tutor/student information, then send the request for the connection and
contact each other and get the tuition.

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

➢ Provide the information of new tuitions/tutors.

➢ Reduce time & cost

➢ Easily find large amount of tuitions/tutors.

➢ Search According their Location.

➢ Make standard profile.

➢ Online apply for tuition

➢ Messaging system

1. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

BVoc Software development | 3

 Online tutor finder | 2023

2.1 INTRODUCTION
System analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by the system and their
relationship within the modules of the system. This phase involves the study of the parent
system and identification of the system objectives. The main objective of this phase involves
gathering of necessary information and using the structured tool for analysis. This includes
designing the system. In this project, the requirements are studied in detail and information are
collected and documented

2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM

Some websites are available on tutor finder. Most of them are informatics website. There are a
few online platforms like bdtutors.com where you can get a tuition but the tutor and student
can’t communicate with each other with in the system. They need to depend on cellphone or
email service to communicate with them. And both have no access to choose the option.

Websites which allow tutor or student to communicate with each other within the system are
very rare and also the existing system is said to be costly

2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM

The system is very simple in design and to implement. The system requires very low system
resources and the system will work in almost all configurations.

It has got following features:

• Ensure data accuracy.

• Records are efficiently maintained by DBMS.
• DBMS also provides security for the information.
• Any person across the world, having internet can access this service.
• User will get their desire search result
• User can add their profile to get the desire result
• Minimum time needed for the various processing.
• Better Service.
• Communication system within the system

BVoc Software development | 4

 Online tutor finder | 2023

• Minimum time required.

• Personalized services.

2.4 SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

System specification specify the hardware and software configuration of the new
system. It helps to define the operational and performance guidelines for the system.
ONLINE TUTOR FINDER is a web-based application developed in Node.js as its
backend and HTML, CCS, JavaScript as its frontend using XAMPP for managing the
related activities and recording data.

2.5 OPERATING SYSTEM

Windows is a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Each version of
windows includes a graphical user interface, with a desktop that allows users to view
files and folders in window. Microsoft introduced an operating environment named
Windows on November 20, 1985 as a graphical user interface (GUI). For the past two
decades, Windows has been the most widely used operating system for personal
computers (PC’s).

2.6 LANGUAGE OR SOFTWARE PACKAGE

The application is built using Node.js. Node.js is a cross platform, open source server
environment that can run on Windows, Linus, Unix, macOS, and more. It is a backend
JavaScript runtime environment and executes JavaScript code outside a web browser.
There are thousands of open-source libraries for Node.js, most of them hosted on
the npm website. Node.js is primarily used to build network programs such as Web
servers.
Node.js brings event-driven programming to web servers, enabling development of fast
web servers in JavaScript.

5. SYSTEM TESTING AND

IMPLEMENTATION

BVoc Software development | 25

 Online tutor finder | 2023

5.1 INTRODUCTION
System testing is a type of software testing that is performed on a complete integrated
system to evaluate the compliance of the system with the corresponding requirements.

5.2 DEBUGGING
5.2.1 UNIT TESTING

Unit testing is a level of software testing where individual units/ components of

a software are tested. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software
performs as designed. A unit is the smallest testable part of any software. It
usually has one or a few inputs and usually has a simple output. Here, each unit
is tested.

5.2.2 VALIDATION TESTING

Validation testing ensures that the product actually meets the client’s needs.
The sections such as username and password was checked by giving invalid
values and made sure that in such cases it shows a message corresponding to
the error, so that the user maybe able to understand the mistake and change
accordingly.

5.2.3 INTEGRATION TESTING

Integration testing is a way of testing one or two modules, which are unit
tested, integrated into one to test and verification is done to ensure if the
integrated modules work as expected or not.

5.3 SYSTEM SECURITY

System security is the control of access to a computer system’s resource’s, especially

its data and operating system. It includes restricting access to the application by
unwanted users. In his application, the access to it is controlled by providing a login.
Only the registered users can access the data. This facility is considered as a system
security here

BVoc Software development | 26

 Online tutor finder | 2023

5.4 SCOPE FOR FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

For the future enhancement, there will be a scope for adding audio and video
communication system through the system. Auto backup can be implemented in
future as currently we designed the backup system manually.

BVoc Software development | 27

 Online tutor finder | 2023

6. CONCLUSION

ONLINE TUTOR FINDER will help the students to search their specific tutor based on their
need and location and will recommend it to student. The system provide booking processes to
make sure the student or user can meet a tutor more easily.

This system has been achieved the objectives and all scopes had been fulfilled. The
achievement of this project is outline below:

• The systematic application that can manage to find the tutor.

• The system that can allow users to connect any tutor.
• Users can find the tutors based on their specification need.
