The idea behind Tutorbook is born

It's been a while since the idea behind Tutorbook was formed, but I'll try my best to keep this as accurate as possible.

The ideas behind Tutorbook were created originally for my Eagle Scout project and have since grown into a full-fledged side project (if one can even have a "full-fledged side project" haha).

Starting from the beginning: Tutorbook started with bagels.

My family and I were sitting around the table eating bagels, brainstorming possible ideas for my Eagle Scout project. I'm pretty sure that it was my oldest sister (I have three; FML) who suggested that I create an app to help manage peer tutoring (she had probably gone through the arduous process of filling out the paper forms to become a tutor earlier that week and decided that the previously paper-based system was outdated; especially for a school in the heart of Silicon Valley).

My Dad then pitched in and suggested that it be named "Tutorbook" after "Facebook" (and the fact that one would use it to book tutors).

I kind of laughed the whole thing off and decided to explore my own ideas; and we all know how that ended.
