Surfing for tutors made easy

Most of these new sites are adaptations of foreign web-sites but the effort put toward the implementation of such sites for local community should be complimented.

master-r-bari.com, is one such site which primarily aids browsers to seek for tuition as well as for tutors and also for To-lets.

The site has a very simple menu that links to What is IS-Card, Cards available at, Send Message and About us. The menu bar is prevalent all over the site but only the Home page links to the most important links such as the tutor, tuition and to-let.

A browser would need to buy an Information Submission card (IS-card) from some specific venues mentioned at the site, to insert and update their profiles and information. These cards are classified into Type A for Teachers, B for teacher seekers, and C for To-lets. The prices for the respective cards are also available from the IS-card page.

The Tutor Available option shows the list of all the tutors available and has information according to their name, educational qualification, subjects and classes that the tutor can teach and other additional details.

The details option, when clicked opens a new window where the browser gets access on information of the particular tutor along with contact numbers, e-mail, contact addresses and another additional option through which the browser can write to the tutor directly.

The Tuition Available choice, takes the browser to a similar list projecting the information of students or guardians looking for tutors. The list is based on categories like name, academic qualification, last date, etc.

The To-Let shows a list of to-lets available. The list is categorised according to the landlord's name, information on the place/house for rent, it's location and further details. On the upper left corner, a particular area based search option has also been provided.

The details option for this category once again opens a new window providing further information like flat size, number of rooms available, details, contact address, phone numbers and house rent.

To submit any of the above information, the interested individual would need to type in the pin number available from only the IS-Cards.

Editing and updating existing information in the teacher and teacher requirements area is possible by logging in with authorised USER Id and Password.

Overall, the site has a lot of improvements to be made. Most of the functions in each sections are repetitive and after a certain period of time, a browser may lose interest in the site.

Also, the site lacks luster and glamour, which is very important for any such informative site during its initial years.

The developer also needs to simplify the home page with lesser but more effective choices.

Such sections can contain further sub-sections like Input Information, Edit Information, and List of all available information.

The availability of too many options may complicate things for most seekers.

Quick search engines for different sections would be a boost for those trying to rent their houses or are looking for either tutors or tuition.

As an informative site, master-r-bari.com, has a lot of potential since its initiation in early July, this year and with time, hopefully the site will improve.

"We would be adding information of other items that people usually look for like addresses of foreign universities, syllabi of HSC, SSC, Ordinary, Advanced level and other such necessary options," said Mahmudul Haque Masum, the developer of the site.
