All system users (students and tutors/academic institutions) create an account by signing up on the system to be able to use Tutors Hub. Users then complete their profiles by providing information such as location, availability, tutoring modes (online or physical) etc. In the cases where a user chooses physical as a tutoring mode, the user further indicates if s/he is willing to travel and if yes, the user also indicates how far s/he is willing to travel to offer/receive a service.
