Sitting around a few months ago, we started chatting about how we would love to learn new skills… proper skills… the sort of skills that would actually help us out in our day to day lives.
Our plants are constantly dying, no matter how hard we try. We desperately wish we knew how to change a tyre and use a drill, and after years of working we're both still totally confused about our taxes. Youtube videos help, but we can’t ask any questions. Going on a professional course would also be an option but it sounds expensive, time consuming and like a commitment we can’t make. And then we thought, we bet there’s people just down the road who could teach any one of these skills, just as well as a professional tutor, adviser or teacher.
We wondered- is there a way to take learning offline in a more relaxed way? Could we bring people together within a town or city so that skills are shared outside a professional workplace or classroom? And could it be a great way for people to earn some extra cash?
A little bit of research later and we discovered that continuing to learn is really good for us. It makes us happier, biologically and psychologically healthier, we become better at problem solving and it’s a brilliant way to meet new people from all walks of life.
So we’ve been working hard to build a platform where people can do all of these things. Please feel free to share it, like our facebook page, like our instagram page and post a less for free to earn income!
What could you teach?
