Kid-Focused Online Tutoring Marketplace Development

Project Description

I am looking for a freelancer to help build a kid-focused online tutoring marketplace where parents can book vetted tutors for live online lessons.
This platform will act as a marketplace, not a tutoring service itself. Tutors provide the lessons, and the platform handles discovery, booking, payments, safeguarding, and takes a percentage commission from each completed session.
The platform commission will also cover operational costs such as tutor identity verification and safeguarding checks, meaning tutors are not charged any upfront verification fees.
Project Overview

The website will allow:
Parents to find, book, and pay for tutors
Tutors to create profiles, set availability, and accept bookings
Admins to manage users, payments, commissions, verification status, and safeguarding
The initial goal is a simple, secure MVP, not a fully custom or over-engineered system.
