Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

As we seek to expand our digital presence, we recognize the need to enhance our marketing strategies, which have been previously neglected.


To advance our promotional efforts, we intend to collaborate with students and recent graduates who can help us develop and distribute engaging content.


Key Initiatives Include:


1. Initializing a Meta Account: We will set up a Meta account to streamline our communications and promotions across Facebook and Instagram, platforms where many of our target users are active.


2. Completing Facebook and Instagram Pages: We will develop these pages to fully represent our brand’s mission and the educational services we offer, ensuring they resonate with both potential tutors and students. A branding kit will be provided to assist in this process.


3. Establishing a LinkedIn Presence: Creating and optimizing our LinkedIn profile to connect with professionals and recent graduates, enhancing our visibility in a more formal professional network. This platform will be crucial for reaching potential tutors and educational partners.


Responsibilities for Participating Students:


- Understanding our Target Market: Students must grasp the needs and preferences of our target market, which includes students seeking tutoring and graduates looking for teaching opportunities.


Additional Opportunities:


- Suggesting SEO Strategies: Sudents will have the opportunity to propose SEO strategies that enhance the visibility of our content, making our tutoring services more accessible to a broader audience.


  • This initiative aims not only to bolster our marketing capabilities but also to provide valuable marketing experience to students and recent graduates in the field. The focus on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn will ensure a comprehensive approach to our digital marketing efforts, addressing both casual and professional networking needs.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of this project, participating students are expected to demonstrate significant progress in the following key areas:


1. Understanding of Our Target Market, Products, and Services: Students should develop a comprehensive understanding of our audience, which includes students in need of tutoring and recent graduates looking for teaching roles.


2. Enhanced Social Media Presence and Voice: Students will actively manage and enhance our presence on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn. This involves consistently applying our brand voice, ensuring our messaging resonates with our diverse audience, and engaging effectively to build community and foster interactions.


3. Effective Deployment of Marketing Content: Students should excel in scheduling, posting, and managing content tailored to each platform's unique environment and audience. This includes crafting posts that highlight the benefits of our tutoring services, share success stories, and promote opportunities for recent graduates.


4. Refinement of Marketing Materials: Through continuous feedback and data-driven insights, students will refine marketing materials to better attract and engage our target audiences across all platforms.


The project's success will be gauged by the growth in engagement rates, follower counts, and overall visibility on each social media platform, demonstrating the students' ability to use digital marketing effectively to support our company's goals.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Mentorship and Support for Students


As part of our commitment to fostering a supportive and educational environment, Agora Tutoring will provide direct mentorship to students throughout the project. This will ensure that participants have ongoing access to guidance and expert advice directly from our team. Here are the key areas where we will provide mentorship and support:


1. Products and Services: Students can receive detailed explanations and insights about the various tutoring services offered by Agora Tutoring. This includes understanding the scope, benefits, and specific features of our in-person tutoring sessions.


2. Marketing Strategies: We will offer guidance on Agora Tutoring’s marketing strategies, including our approach to reaching our target market, the platforms we use, and the techniques that have proven most effective in engaging potential tutors and students.


3. Decision-Making Support: As students navigate the project, they will have the opportunity to consult with us on any choices or challenges they encounter. This support is designed to help students apply practical solutions and make informed decisions that align with professional practices in the field.


4. Problem Resolution: We will provide specific advice on resolving any issues that may arise during the project, from technical challenges to strategic adjustments. This guidance will help ensure that students can overcome obstacles efficiently and learn from each experience.


Our goal is to ensure that all students participating in the project feel supported, confident, and equipped to achieve the best outcomes. Through direct mentorship, Agora Tutoring aims to enhance the educational value of the project and prepare students for future professional opportunities.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

To effectively execute this project, it would be beneficial for students to be familiar with the following software and applications:


1. Meta Business Suite: To manage Facebook and Instagram accounts, schedule posts, and analyze engagement metrics.

2. LinkedIn: For creating and managing professional profiles and company pages, engaging with content, and networking with professionals.

3. Canva or Adobe: For designing visually appealing social media graphics, posts, and marketing materials using the provided branding kit.

4. Google Drive: To receive initial assets and to store all products developed.


Students can self-teach the use of these tools, though prior experience with them will significantly streamline the learning curve and enhance the project's overall effectiveness.
