TutorMe is a revolutionary concept that takes online learning to the next level. It allows students to learn in the comfort of their environment, but the sessions are live. Students and teachers interact on a highly responsive and performant infinite whiteboard that can host images, text, videos, audio, and all other media. The product is extremely successful in the UK market and is now growing to other geographies.
Challenges
The existing team was not able to meet the stakeholder expectations and the product was in a bad shape.
Solutions
A test harness was built around the product so that we could refactor the code without affecting the final outcome.
Results
The classrooms have waiting times on their bookings, and the product is getting rave reviews from students and tutors alike.
Challenges
TutorMe met with Knoldus in London, where the product situation seemed quite grim. The existing team was not able to meet the stakeholder expectations and the product was in a bad shape. TutorMe needed a partner that they could trust and who would act like a partner in the rescue and further development of the product.

Solution
Knoldus worked with the TutorMe team in London to understand the re-engineer the codebase which existed. A test harness was built around the product so that we could refactor the code without affecting the final outcome. Best practices were incorporated with respect to Scrum-based development, development styles, and communication structures. The product was refactored and additional features were built on the product so that it could be taken to the market and used in production.


Results
Currently, the product is being heavily used in production. The classrooms have waiting times on their bookings, and the product is getting rave reviews from students and tutors alike. During the 2 months of exam season, the product generated more revenue than the cost of developing the product. Knoldus continues to be the engineering team on the product and is currently enabling extended features for multi location multi student sessions.
