Abstract
There is a trend in Thai education that many students prefer having an extra class. However, private tutors have to pay a fee in a high price to recommendation agencies in order to find students. For this reason, we have designed and developed a system called “FindMyTutor” on the Android operating system for students and tutors for free of charge. This system includes essential functions for recommendation agency program such as class scheduling calendar, web board community, and personal message. Moreover, we also equip additional functions that are very useful and have never existed in other applications such as tutor´s personal introduction video and matching function for tutors and students based on their location, gender, rating, and age.
