Personal Profile and Comment Functionality: All users can manage their profiles and exchange feedback through comments after calls. This feature facilitates smooth communication between users and maximizes learning effectiveness.

Technologies Used

Server Configuration: Used Cafe24 for virtual server hosting, SMTP for email services, and IIS for the web server to provide stable services.

Backend: Implemented server logic and APIs using PHP and adopted MariaDB for efficient data management.

Database: Employed MariaDB to manage large volumes of data reliably and maintain fast query response times.

Frontend: Utilized HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery to develop a user-friendly interface, and used the Cordova framework to develop the Android app for mobile environments.

'My Korean Tutor' leverages IT7's technological expertise and innovation to provide high-quality educational environments for users worldwide who wish to learn Korean. This platform aims to continuously improve by incorporating regular updates and user feedback.
