← SELECTED WORK / CASE STUDY
PRIME
PREP.
A student-run tutoring company in East Brunswick, NJ and online. Families see who they're booking, what it costs and when they're free. I'm the CTO, and I'm still building it.

01 / THE IDEA
Students learn well from people who were recently in the same classes, and families want to know who they're getting and what it costs before they commit. Omar started Prime Prep around both ideas.
My job is the technology: a website that makes finding a tutor and booking a session simple, and tools that let a student-run team run the company without a lot of manual work.
02 / WHAT I'M BUILDING
- Easy booking. Pick a subject, see the tutor, the hours and the rate, and book.
- Tutor tools. Tutors manage their own profile, subjects and availability.
- Practice and guides. Free SAT practice and study guides for families.
- The behind-the-scenes work. The tools that keep a student team organized.
03 / HOW I'M APPROACHING IT
KEEP IT SIMPLE
A fast, clear site that a parent can use in a minute, with no account maze.
BE CLEAR UP FRONT
Rates and tutors are visible before anyone books, so there are no surprises.
PRIVACY AND SAFETY FIRST
It's a business for students and families, so I treat their information carefully.
BUILT FOR STUDENTS TO RUN
The team is students, so the tools have to be easy for them to use and manage.
04 / WHAT'S NEXT
Prime Prep is live, and it's a long-running project. I'm improving it alongside the team: shipping small changes, listening to tutors and families, and fixing what gets in their way.
