π― βEDU EXCHANGE β β Real-world Skills + Peer Tutoring Exchange
Β
Β
1. Real-world problem it solves
Β
Students often face:
β’ A skills gap β they study theory but lack practical skills (coding, presentations, budgeting, job prep).
β’ High costs of courses - online platforms (Udemy, Coursera, etc.) can be expensive.
β’ Unequal access β some students have strong peers who help, others donβt.
Β
But many students graduate with degrees but feel unprepared for real-world challenges.
Β
2. Gap in current solutions / market
β’ Coaching centers β focus on exams, not life/job skills.
β’ Online courses β expensive, not personalized, low completion rates.
β’ Peer support β informal and uneven, not structured.
Β
π No affordable, student-driven platform where learners can teach what theyβre good at and learn what they need in return.
Β
3. Who benefits
β’ Students: Gain practical skills + build teaching confidence.
β’ Parents: Affordable, peer-powered upskilling instead of costly coaching.
β’ Community: Creates a culture of collaboration and self-reliance, reducing inequality.
Β
4. Why this problem matters
Β
Iβve seen so many classmates excel in one area (like math, coding, or public speaking) but struggle badly in another. If they could teach what they know and learn what they lack, both would benefit. It matters to me because education should be shared, practical, and empowering β not just rote and expensive.
Β
5. Technical details
β’ A mobile app/website where students list what they can teach and what they want to learn.
β’ Uses credits system β Teach 1 hour = Earn credits β Spend credits to learn another skill.
β’ Low-cost premium option: verified mentors for critical subjects (resume, coding, interviews).
β’ Built-in rating & review system for trust.
In Short - "Students teaching students"
