How I Built eTuitionBd: A Full-Stack Tuition Management System with React, Node & Stripe

Hey Dev Community! 👋

Six months ago, I completed a major milestone in my Web Development journey — building eTuitionBd, a comprehensive Tuition Management System designed to connect verified tutors with students seamlessly.

Today, I wanted to share the story, architecture, and tech stack behind this project! 🚀

🧐 What is eTuitionBd?

Finding trusted tutors or legitimate tuition posts in Bangladesh can often be a hassle. eTuitionBd solves this friction by providing a transparent, role-based platform for class tracking, secure payments, and structured verification.

✨ Key Features & User Roles

1. 🎓 Student Dashboard

• Post tuition requirements (Subject, Budget, Location).
• Manage applications from different tutors.
• Securely hire tutors by making payments via Stripe.

2. 👨‍🏫 Tutor Dashboard

• Browse and search tuitions using advanced filtering (Subject, Class, Budget, Gender).
• Track application statuses in real-time.
• View active tuitions and revenue history.

3. 🛡️ Admin Dashboard

• Centralized user management (Role updates and deletions).
• Tuition post moderation and analytics.

🔐 Security & Core Functionalities

• Authentication: Firebase Auth (Google Social Login + Email/Password) paired with JWT (JSON Web Token) for strict role-based access control and protected routes.
• Automated Workflow: Real-time application updates (Pending → Approved / Rejected / Closed).
• Stripe Payments: A tutor is officially marked as "Approved" only after the student completes the salary payment via Stripe.

💻 Tech Stack Behind the Project

• Frontend: React.js, Tailwind CSS, DaisyUI, Framer Motion
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Database: MongoDB
• Authentication & State: Firebase, JWT, TanStack Query (React Query)
• **Payment Processing: **Stripe API
• Deployment: Firebase (Client) & Vercel (Server)

💡 What I Learned From Building This

Building eTuitionBd taught me how to handle complex backend logic, integrate payment gateways securely, and manage role-based state on the frontend using TanStack Query.
