Duroos.

The Concept

The private tutoring market in the UAE is fragmented. Parents struggle to find qualified tutors, and teachers struggle to manage bookings and payments.

Duroos solves this by providing a unified platform. It's not just a directory; it's a complete operating system for tutors—handling everything from profile management and scheduling to secure payments via Stripe and real-time communication.

Engineering the "Studio of One"

Building a platform of this scale solo required a ruthless focus on efficiency. I utilized Cursor as my IDE to accelerate boilerplate code, allowing me to focus on the complex business logic.

• Bilingual Core: Using Paraglide JS, the entire app (including right-to-left layout adjustments) is fully bilingual (Arabic/English), catering to the local demographic.
• Storage Architecture: Integrated Cloudflare R2 for zero-egress fee storage, allowing teachers to upload intro videos and profile pictures without blowing the budget.
• Real-Time Chat: Built a chat system using Supabase Realtime so students and teachers can discuss requirements before booking.

Growth & Content Strategy

I didn't just build the code; I built the brand. I handled all social media content creation, video editing, and ad creatives in-house.

We ran targeted paid campaigns on Meta and LinkedIn, resulting in a strong initial user base of over 150 qualified teachers ready for launch.

Organic Growth Engine

We didn't just build a product; we built a media brand. I managed the end-to-end content strategy, creating educational reels and value-driven posts that established trust before the user even signed up.

Code Snippet: Svelte Runes + Supabase

Handling real-time subscription status with Svelte 5 Runes.

let userProfile = $state(null);

// Real-time subscription to booking requests
const subscribeToBookings = (teacherId) => {
  return supabase
    .channel('booking_updates')
    .on(
      'postgres_changes',
      { event: 'INSERT', schema: 'public', table: 'bookings', filter: `teacher_id=eq.${teacherId}` },
      (payload) => {
         // Trigger Notification Service
         sendEmailNotification(payload.new);
         toast.success("New Student Request!");
      }
    )
    .subscribe();
};

Final Thoughts

Duroos represents a complete 0-to-1 execution. From ideation and market validation in the UAE to a production-grade bilingual SvelteKit application handling real money and real schedules.
