TutorsFirst
tutorsfirst is an Australian tutoring marketplace — find a trusted, verified tutor by subject, level and suburb. Browsing is free, tutors list free and keep 100% of their lesson fees, and students pay one small flat connection fee to swap contact details. No subscriptions, no commission.
It is the TF cell (highlighted green) of the same 2×2 mark whose FF cell is fat-fort.
Why it exists
- The trusted incumbent, First Tutors, closed in 2025 — leaving the Australian introduction market open.
- every tutor is identity- and credential-verified — a Working With Children Check where they teach minors, plus academic proof (HSC transcripts, university testamurs, professional qualifications) — each shown as a first-class badge.
- server-rendered, lightweight, works well on a phone.
Pointers
- tutorsfirst.com.au — the marketplace.
- fat-fort — sibling project (fatfort.com), adversarial-ML robustness.
- abaj.ai — main site, writing, and past work.

fat-fort is an early-stage effort in adversarial machine learning and computer-vision robustness — auditing where models break, and how to certify that they don’t. Built in the open, honest about the stage: no invented clients, no borrowed logos, no certifications that don’t exist yet.
The mark is a 2×2 grid whose corners read TT · TF · FT · FF. fat-fort is the FF corner (in red); its sibling tutorsfirst is the TF corner — two cells of the same matrix.

Originally the AI suffix stood for archived intellect, however these days it has concretised to becoming an Augmenting Infrastructure — a place from which to branch out in many directions.
Within this site you will find self-contained material in the form of project posts and blog posts, but also external links 1 to other work – my own as well as not.
