The Challenge

Building a reliable tutoring marketplace required solving multiple integration challenges:

  • Scheduling Complexity — Coordinating tutor availability with student bookings required real-time calendar synchronization
  • Payment Flows — Managing subscriptions, one-time payments, and tutor payouts through a single payment system
  • Authentication — Secure multi-role access for students, tutors, and administrators
  • Form Reliability — Complex booking and onboarding forms needed strong validation to prevent errors and ensure data quality
  • Real-Time Updates — Students and tutors needed instant feedback on booking changes and platform events

Our Solution

We built a full-stack tutoring platform using Supabase for authentication and real-time data, Stripe for subscription billing and tutor payouts, and Calendly for scheduling — all wrapped in a modern React/TypeScript frontend.

Architecture

  • Frontend: React with TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Shadcn/UI component library
  • Build Tool: Vite for fast development and optimized production builds
  • Backend: Supabase Edge Functions for secure API endpoints handling bookings, payments, and onboarding
  • Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL) with real-time subscriptions for live updates
  • Authentication: Supabase Auth with role-based access
  • Scheduling: Calendly integration for real-time booking synchronization
  • Payments: Stripe for subscriptions, one-time payments, and tutor payouts
  • State Management: Redux Toolkit for global state, React Query for server state
  • Form Validation: React Hook Form with Zod schema validation
  • Animations: Framer Motion for transitions, loaders, and modals
