Abstract
This project seeks to address challenges pupils face when looking for a teacher within their
location who offers extra lessons in a particular subject. It also aims to address the primary
challenge teachers who provide tuitions face, i.e., publicizing themselves to pupils in need of their
service. In Zambia, just like other countries, the practice of taking lessons outside the class
schedule has gained ground among secondary school pupils. They choose to do this to improve
their academic performance, which becomes poor due to inefficiencies in the teaching-learning
process in some schools. In this project, the solution is a location-based system that discovers
teachers for a particular subject based on the pupil's location . In addition, pupils can view teacher
profiles and interact with them.
