Tutor4math mobile app: a tutor finder application for additional Mathematic subject

Mohammad Aiman Aminuddin

Abstract

For children who need extra academic support in their study, particularly at the primary and secondary education levels, tutoring services are crucial. Students frequently have trouble selecting tutors who are suited for them and who fit their tastes. The current web applications simply offer a form to search for tutors, so they currently lack responsive components. The same is true of tuition, which required students to travel from one site to another in search of a tuition centre. The purpose of this study is to address the inherent problem of matching students and teachers with appropriate tutors, particularly for Additional Mathematic topics. Since concept mistakes and transformation errors in Additional Mathematics and Modern Mathematics, respectively, were significantly different across performance levels, it may be inferred from the findings of SF Fuzi, WH Hassan, SN Zainudin, and SR Jama, 2020. Conceptual and transformational errors were more pronounced among students who were performing poorly. But there were nearly equal amounts of reading comprehension, number operation, and factoring errors between the Additional Mathematics and Modern Mathematics performance levels. The Tutor4Math Mobile app method is recommended for secondary school students, particularly SPM aspirants. In order to build and develop the system, this study simplifies and adapts the System Development Life Cycle approach into a Spiral model. Planning, design, implementation, testing, and deployment are the steps. To achieve the goal of this study and properly deliver the suggested solution, each phase entails certain tasks.
