High Level Design

The document describes a high level design for a tutoring system that has three main components: a web interface, database, and mailer. The web interface is the front-end that users interact with, the database stores user and class information, and the mailer sends emails. The web interface allows users to ask questions, view schedules, and manage their profile. The database contains tables for users, class usage, questions and answers, and scheduling. It interfaces with the web and mailer components. The mailer retrieves message templates and recipient data from the database, merges this information, and sends the emails.
