It serves as an open marketplace platform that allows private teachers/tutors to build online courses on topics of their choosing, provide high quality video-on-demand lessons, interactive quizzes, Questions Bank and useful learning materials for GCE “O” and “A” level students based on the latest Singapore Ministry of Education syllabus.The platform had total subscribers of 20,000+ and more than 1.9 million online viewership.We also built a mobile App "Smardy", an on demand Q&A platform where student can post their homework questions anytime via the chat interface and he/she will instantly be matched with the tutor to get the answers/solutions in the form of text/voice/video message. We were also planning to make "Smardy" a homework chatbot.Despite building the products loved by many, unfortunately we were unable to find the like-minded investors and secure further funding to keep the company going. We had to shutdown tuittor.com and stop Smardy in 2016.
