Tyut is an EdTech platform created to move away from rote memorization and instead focus on concept-driven, personalized learning. Born from frustration with an education system that often prioritizes memorization over true understanding, As one of its co-founders, I helped bring the platform to life. I led the product from its initial concept through to the MVP stage, designing a digital space where students can connect with subject-matter experts for tailored tutoring. The goal was to make concept-first education accessible, intuitive, and scalable, especially for students looking for deeper clarity rather than just exam preparation.

Project Goals

• Build a tutoring experience that prioritizes deep understanding over cramming

• Enable fast, reliable access to subject experts across multiple platforms

• Create a calm, confidence-building environment for learners

• Develop a scalable MVP for testing in real learning scenarios

Phase 1: User Research & UX Strategy

To ground the platform in real needs, I interviewed students, educators, and parents to map common pain points in the tutoring experience. One insight stood out: students often felt overwhelmed, not just by the material, but by the pressure to perform. They were looking for clarity and support, not just quick answers.

Based on this, I designed user flows that prioritized ease of use, fast expert access, and a sense of trust. The focus was on reducing friction and helping learners connect with the right tutor without added stress.

Phase 2: UI Design & Brand Identity

The visual and interaction design focused on creating a calm, welcoming experience. Soft color palettes, clean layouts, and minimal distractions helped reduce cognitive load, while friendly, supportive copy reinforced the platform’s role as a learning companion.

Rather than feeling like a transactional tool, Tyut was designed to be approachable and reassuring—something students could turn to regularly for meaningful academic growth.

Phase 3: MVP Development

I developed the first version of the platform using Java and Firebase, focusing on real-time session availability and responsive performance across devices. The MVP supported core features like dynamic tutor scheduling, student profiles, and chat-based Q&A.

The backend architecture was built with scalability in mind, allowing us to test live sessions quickly while maintaining a foundation for future growth.

Tyut reflects my ability to identify systemic problems, deeply understand user needs, and deliver a working solution that’s both technically sound and emotionally attuned. It wasn’t just about building a tutoring app — it was about reshaping how students engage with learning, one meaningful connection at a time.
