Twilio Tutor–Student Communication Platform

A secure SMS-based communication system built using Laravel and Twilio APIs.
This platform enables tutors to communicate with assigned students while protecting student phone numbers through number masking and role-based access control.

⚠️ Note: Production source code is private due to client confidentiality and privacy compliance requirements.
This repository showcases architecture, system design, and implementation approach only.


🚀 Project Overview

The system was developed to enable:

  • Secure SMS communication between tutors and students
  • Complete privacy of student contact details
  • Role-based access control (Admin & Tutor)
  • Real-time chat updates
  • Centralized admin monitoring dashboard

The application integrates seamlessly into the client’s existing workflow.


🔐 Core Features

1️⃣ Role-Based Access

Tutor Role

  • Can communicate only with assigned students
  • Cannot view student phone numbers
  • Access limited to assigned conversations

Admin Role

  • Full visibility into all conversations
  • Assign tutors to students
  • Monitor communication activity

2️⃣ Privacy Protection (Twilio Number Masking)

  • Implemented Twilio Proxy / number masking
  • Tutors communicate via proxy numbers
  • Real phone numbers are never exposed
  • Secure SMS routing through Twilio APIs

3️⃣ Real-Time Communication

  • Laravel Event Broadcasting

  • Notification system
  • Queue-based message handling

🏗 System Architecture
