TeachMate.org is a service that helps people who wish to learn things find others who wish to teach them. You may think of it as of a dating service in education. We are also very fond of the idea of teaching for teaching: you can find people who’d love to teach you something in return for you teaching him another thing.
The essence of this service is simple: whoever teaches — learns. There are few simple things we wish our user could find out:
- You don’t need to be a professional to teach. Instead, you have to teach to become a professional.
- You don’t need to pay money for learning or ask for money when you teach someone.
- Learning is not about the degrees, it’s about the process and what you can do with your knowledge.
TeachMate is an opensource project. You can download sources and contribute!
