Older Pantip threads: a tutor near Kasetsart posted on Dek-D and nobody contacted her, broker jobs were too far away, and a tutor of 4-5 years wrote a long list of rules for students who change schedules last minute or go silent. The threads are several years old, so check current numbers.

5 ways to tackle it

  • Web portal

    Tutor Page: speak about yourself and get a booking page with a LINE button

    A tutor records a Thai voice note about subjects, levels, area and price. The AI writes a clean profile page with her schedule and a button for contact, so students find a real page instead of a lost forum post.

  • iPhone and Android app

    Lesson Pack: prepaid packs, a small deposit and notebook photo updates to parents

    Tutors sell packs of 4 or 8 lessons and the app counts what is left. A cancel inside 24 hours uses up the lesson, explained up front. After class she photographs the notebook, and the AI writes a short Thai summary for the parent.

  • Hardware and sensors

    Tear-Off Tutor: print a neighborhood flyer with pull-off QR tabs for the board near you

    The tutor says her subject, level and area. The tool lays out a printable flyer with 10 tear-off tabs, each with a QR to her page, ready for condo boards, cafes and campus walls near Kasetsart. The forum nobody read is replaced by a wall everyone walks past.

  • Automation and APIs

    Request Scout: finds public tutor requests and drafts a reply that fits each one

    It checks public tutor request listings a tutor chooses, filters by her subject and area, and the AI drafts a short Thai reply with her price and open slots. She approves each reply before it sends.

    Exam Radar: finds who needs a tutor three weeks before a big exam date

    Exam dates are public: TCAS rounds and school midterm calendars. The pipeline maps them to levels and districts, then tells a tutor which weeks to promote which subject, and where to post.
