A fundamental challenge in developing Dmitri was reimagining the tutor-student/parent matchmaking process. We tackled this by creating a sophisticated ad-based system with seamless tutor selection. Ensuring trust and transparency was another obstacle, which we addressed by allowing users to review tutor profiles and by implementing a two-way rating system. This fosters a dynamic community of learning and teaching.

The journey of crafting Dmitri's interfaces began with a focus on creating an intuitive, user-centric ad posting system. We conducted extensive user research to understand the expectations and preferences of students, parents, and tutors. Based on these insights, we designed a simple yet comprehensive ad creation process, allowing advertisers to specify their unique requirements. Tutors, on the other hand, have a streamlined application process. Our design and development teams worked in tandem to ensure that the platform seamlessly matched ads with potential tutors. Throughout the development cycle, we iteratively improved the user interface based on feedback from usability tests, aiming for a seamless user experience. The result is an efficient, transparent, and engaging platform that empowers both students/parents and tutors in their learning journey.

Collaboration between our design and development teams played a crucial role in achieving a user-friendly platform with a robust ad system and profile sharing. Our synergy allowed us to balance security, user experience, and seamless communication. By working closely together, we integrated features that enhanced both security and user satisfaction, culminating in the Dmitri experience.
