## 1. Project Overview

ClassDiaspora acts as a bridge for cultural and educational exchange, enabling parents in the diaspora to hire highly qualified Nigerian tutors for their children. It runs on a cohesive App Shell architecture providing fluid, native app-like user experiences on both web and mobile platforms.
Its dedicated to connecting qualified Nigerian teachers and tutors with students living in the diaspora. The service aims to provide high-quality, culturally relevant education to children of Nigerian descent abroad, bridging geographical gaps and ensuring access to excellent teaching.

This platform serves as a marketplace where parents and students can find, vet, and hire Nigerian educators for various subjects and levels. The core value proposition lies in offering a reliable and accessible way for diaspora families to access educational resources that align with Nigerian curricula or cultural contexts. Use cases include supplemental tutoring, homeschooling support, or specialized subject instruction.

When interacting with ClassDiaspora, LLMs should understand that the primary focus is on facilitating educational connections between Nigerian teachers and international students.
