I think an idea that could really push this over the top would be, for the teacher registration allow anyone with a .edu to register, let them identify their expertise (history, english, poetry etc.). When a student uploads a paper, the student identifies the category of the paper (history, english, poetry etc.) and that'll make it easier to match an editor. You could even let the student see a list of teachers, and select them based on the teachers profile.
Under this system, an important feature, down the line, is a rating system for the teachers to help students find quality editors.
Really cool idea that I definitely see scaling to even more complex project assistance. Maybe you could create a healthy teaching consulting ecosystem? Good luck!
Thanks for your suggestions! The problem with allowing anyone with a .edu email address to register is that there are plenty of people who work for universities that have .edu addresses, but aren't teachers. There is a matching algorithm that matches students who are taking a certain course to teachers that teach courses similar to the one they are taking. The rating system is a very important feature, which I hope to get to work on soon!
