Hi! Tutoring industry is quite saturated with many online tutoring websites, where there are thousands of teachers already. Instead, I got this startup idea for instant solving of short science tasks. I am a Chemical and Biotechnical Science graduate and many times I have been told I can solve problems quickly and explain them in an easy way. I also work in the lab so simple calculations etc. are part of my daily work. Pricing for tasks would fit the student budget and provide a quick solution in last-minute situations.

I would rapidly (within 10 minutes) provide solutions for tasks in: * Chemistry, most of the times either stoichiometric calculations, reaction rate, calculations in analytical chemistry; * Biology, logical tasks, writing sheets for genetic crosses etc.; * Simple mathematics/algebra/geometry.

Each task would work as follows: 1. The student sends me a message with the request and $3 fee. Then he waits for one or two minutes until I confirm submission of the task. 2. Within one or two minutes I confirm if it is a short task and if I can do it. If I can, I just move on and send the solution (step-by-step calculation until the result is given, no explanation) back within 10 minutes in total. If the task requires more time to solve I reject it and suggest a bigger fee. 3. If I can't do a task, I send the prepaid cash back.

There would be an option for the same task (Task+), where I include my description after each step, but that would be a $5 fee.

I would make the first assigned task for free for confirmation that I am not a scam and take money for nothing.

I also want to set this up by making a WordPress website (I would have to implement some kind of live-chat), and maybe an Android app as well.

What do you think? Would that work either for kids/students themselves or parents? Or maybe the independent online tutoring makes more sense?
