What a first build could look like in Princeton
Suppose a Princeton college-prep tutoring and STEM enrichment academy near Nassau Street coordinates one-on-one instructors and small-group cohorts for busy families across Mercer and Somerset counties. We would build an online placement-assessment booking flow, a parent portal for viewing weekly session progress notes and tuition billing, and an internal AI coach trained on the academy's proprietary curriculum guides.
