prompt.txt
Design a tutoring and education booking system for BrightMinds, a online 1-on-1 tutoring marketplace for K-12 and college students.

**Education context:**
- Subjects: Math, Science, English, Programming, SAT/ACT Prep, AP courses, Foreign Languages
- Student levels: Elementary (K-5), Middle School (6-8), High School (9-12), College, Adult Learners
- Session formats: 1-on-1 video (30min/60min), small group (2-4 students), async homework review
- Target users: students (book and attend), parents (manage and pay), tutors (teach and earn)
- Framework: Next.js + Tailwind + Daily.co (video) + Excalidraw (whiteboard)

**Design the following modules:**

1. **Tutor Discovery & Matching:**
   - Search/filter: subject, level, availability, language, price range, rating
   - Matching algorithm display: "Why this tutor is a good fit" based on student profile
   - Tutor cards: photo, name, subjects, rating, hourly rate, total sessions taught, response time
   - Availability quick-view: calendar snippets showing next available slots
   - Video intro: 60-second tutor introduction video on each profile
   - Subject expertise tags with proficiency indicators
   - "Try a free 15-min session" CTA for first-time students

2. **Tutor Profile Page:**
   - About: bio, education, teaching philosophy, experience highlights
   - Credentials: degrees, certifications, background check badge
   - Subjects and levels taught: clear matrix of what they can teach
   - Teaching style: visual/kinesthetic/auditory emphasis, homework policy
   - Availability calendar: real-time open slots for next 4 weeks
   - Reviews from students: categorized by subject, with specific praise/feedback
   - Session packages: single session, 4-pack, 8-pack with discount tiers
   - Cancellation and rescheduling policy

3. **Booking & Scheduling:**
   - Calendar view: available slots highlighted, timezone auto-detection
   - Recurring session setup: same day/time weekly or bi-weekly
   - Pre-session questionnaire: what topic to cover, specific questions, upload materials
   - Session type selection: homework help, test prep, concept review, project guidance
   - Instant booking for available slots, request-based for popular tutors
   - Add to calendar integration (Google, Apple, Outlook)
   - Reminder sequence: 24h, 1h, 15min before session via email + push

4. **Virtual Classroom:**
   - Video call with screen sharing capability
   - Collaborative whiteboard: draw, type, upload images/documents
   - Code editor (for programming subjects) with syntax highlighting and execution
   - File sharing: upload homework, worksheets, reference materials
   - Session recording (with consent) for student review
   - Chat panel: text messaging during session, share links
   - Timer with session extension option (with tutor availability check)

5. **Progress Tracking & Reports:**
   - Student dashboard: subjects studying, sessions completed, upcoming sessions
   - Progress timeline: skills mastered, topics covered, areas needing work
   - Session notes: tutor writes summary after each session (visible to student and parents)
   - Goal setting: define goals (e.g., "Improve algebra grade to B+"), track progress
   - Assessment history: test scores, grade trends, improvement metrics
   - Learning path visualization: curriculum roadmap with completion markers

6. **Parent/Guardian Dashboard:**
   - Overview of all children's tutoring activity
   - Session attendance and punctuality tracking
   - Payment history and upcoming charges
   - Communication with tutor: messaging without interrupting student's session
   - Progress reports: weekly/monthly email summaries
   - Spending controls: session limits per week, budget caps

7. **Next.js + Tailwind + Daily.co (video) + Excalidraw (whiteboard) Implementation:**
   - WebRTC video with fallback to third-party service
   - Whiteboard: Canvas API with undo/redo, shape tools, text tool
   - Timezone handling: store in UTC, display in user's local timezone
   - Mobile responsive: full booking flow on mobile, simplified classroom on mobile
   - Accessibility: closed captions for video sessions, screen reader support
   - Offline: downloadable session recordings and materials for review

Education is personal — the platform should feel like a trusted learning partner, not a transaction system.

What this prompt does

This prompt directs Claude or ChatGPT to design an online tutoring and education booking system. You set [platform_name] and [platform_type], then describe the [subjects], the [student_levels], the [session_formats], the [target_users], and the [framework]. The model designs tutor discovery and matching, the tutor profile page, booking and scheduling, a virtual classroom, progress tracking and reports, a parent or guardian dashboard, and the framework implementation.

It works because a tutoring platform is multi-role — students book and attend, parents manage and pay, tutors teach and earn — and the prompt designs distinct views for each. By naming [subjects] and [student_levels], the model shapes the matching filters and expertise matrices. The [session_formats] variable drives the booking options (1-on-1, small group, async review), and the framework section covers WebRTC video, a collaborative whiteboard, and timezone handling stored in UTC.

When to use it

  • You're building a tutoring marketplace and need matching, scheduling, and a classroom designed together.
  • You want tutor discovery with a "why this tutor fits" matching display and intro videos.
  • You need a booking flow with recurring sessions, pre-session questionnaires, and reminders.
  • You're designing a virtual classroom with whiteboard, code editor, and file sharing.
  • You need progress tracking with session notes visible to students and parents.
  • You want a separate parent dashboard with payment history and spending controls.

Example output

The model returns a module-by-module design document. Discovery is specified with subject and level filters, tutor cards, availability snippets, and intro videos. The booking module covers timezone auto-detection, recurring setup, and reminder sequences. The virtual classroom details video with screen share, a collaborative whiteboard, a syntax-highlighted code editor, and consented recording. The parent dashboard covers multi-child oversight, payment history, and spending caps. The closing [framework] section adds WebRTC, Canvas-based whiteboard tooling, and UTC timezone handling. Expect a detailed spec, not finished code.

Pro tips

  • List [subjects] precisely so the expertise matrix and matching filters reflect what tutors actually teach.
  • Set [student_levels] clearly; K-5 and college learners imply different tone and classroom tools.
  • Use [session_formats] to switch features on — group sessions and async review change the booking and classroom design.
  • Name all three roles in [target_users] so the student, parent, and tutor views each get proper attention.
  • For programming subjects, keep the code-editor-with-execution requirement explicit in the classroom section.
  • Ask the model to expand the progress-tracking module if goal-setting and assessment history matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it design separate views for parents and students?
Yes. The system includes a student dashboard for booking and attending plus a distinct parent or guardian dashboard with multi-child oversight, payment history, tutor messaging, progress reports, and spending controls.
Is there a virtual classroom in the design?
Yes. The classroom covers video with screen sharing, a collaborative whiteboard, a code editor with syntax highlighting and execution for programming subjects, file sharing, consented recording, and an in-session chat panel.
How does it handle scheduling across time zones?
The framework section specifies storing times in UTC and displaying them in each user's local timezone, with timezone auto-detection in the booking calendar so students and tutors see correct slots.
Does it support group sessions and async review?
Yes, when you include them in `[session_formats]`. The design adapts booking and classroom flows for 1-on-1 video, small group sessions of two to four students, and asynchronous homework review.
Can tutors be matched to students automatically?
The discovery module designs a matching display that explains why a tutor is a good fit based on the student profile, alongside manual filters. The actual matching algorithm is something you implement behind that UI.
