Background

Why I tutor

What started as a favor for a neighbor turned into paid tutoring, and then into something I genuinely love. I especially enjoy the challenge of pulling a struggling student up rather than just teaching the ones who already get it — and the trust students and their parents have placed in me over the years is what's kept me going. That experience feeds directly into Mushtor: every feature exists because I watched a real student struggle with a real gap, and Mushtor is how I track and close those gaps at scale instead of just in my own head.

From tutoring to building software

Somewhere along the way, keeping track of which student needed to revisit which topic — and when — became its own full-time job. No spreadsheet or memory could keep up with it for long.

That's the problem Mushtor solves. I used my CSE background to build it myself rather than adapt an existing tool, because building it from scratch gives me the flexibility to shape every feature around what I've actually seen work — and not work — with real students.

If something in a note isn't clicking, or you think a topic deserves a better explanation, tell me — get in touch. That feedback loop is exactly how Mushtor's notes get better.
