Rural Teacher Income Cooperative & Tutoring Marketplace

A cooperative model where rural Hunan teachers pool resources to offer structured after-school tutoring services to students in their own and neighboring villages, capturing 60-70% of tutoring fees while the cooperative takes 30-40% for administration, teacher matching, and payment processing. Teachers register their availability, subject expertise, and location; parents/students book sessions through a simple SMS or WeChat interface; the cooperative aggregates demand, handles payments (critical given delayed government salaries), and ensures quality through peer review and performance metrics.
