TEACH: Click here to create a free profile in seconds. Students contact you directly through the site using the public form on your profile. List with as little or as much information as you want to show the world. We are not a middleman. You decide who you want to teach and when, and whether you want to charge money or exchange free lessons. When you charge a fee, you keep all of your money and all of your freedom.
LEARN: Input a subject and your location in the search bar and click Search to instantly find teachers near you or online. It's free to search and contact teachers. You can also search in our Schools/Classes section for local classes and online courses.
FREE EXCHANGE: Exchange lessons with teachers who might want to learn from you. No money to hire a teacher or take a class? Maybe there's someone just around the corner who will teach you in exchange for learning a skill that you have!
When creating your teaching profile, if you add at least one subject you would like to learn, you will also be automatically listed under Free Exchange. This does not obligate you, it just means that users can contact you or you can contact them to learn from each other if you both decide there is a match. For more information, see our Free Exchange FAQ page.
The LRNGO Team
LRNGO is not really about us, it's about all of you. The movement that made this whole concept possible came from people worldwide who believe we all have the power to teach and learn from each other, so we are honored to be YOUR team. However, if you're still curious to know more about who's doing what, here you go:
Our Philosophy (Why is LRNGO?)
LRNGO started out with a simple idea: that learning is something we all have in common throughout our lives. It includes formal education and employment, but extends way beyond that into academics for our kids and any subject or activity where we have an interest or goal. Since we all have this in common and you can only go so far teaching yourself, why not have a platform where you can search and connect with teachers in your community or anywhere in the world to learn from?
We don't all have weeks to spend searching, and we don't all have money and time for a four year degree in everything we want to learn. What if you need to find a mentor, tutor or teacher, or a collaborator near you right now?
We decided LRNGO should be a free resource where anyone can see all options locally and worldwide for finding teachers and learning any subject or activity. You can search for teachers near you by subject & location, view their photo & background information, and contact them directly for free. You could hire them, or perhaps learn for free in exchange for teaching a skill one of them wants to learn. You can search for individual teachers near you, or group class offerings. If there are no options near you, you can even search for teachers or classes anywhere in the world online. LRNGO is the world's first teaching & learning knowledge market, accessible at any time to search, list & contact.
The internet has gotten very good at making search engines for things, but we want to be a search engine for teachers. Not for who you know, that's already been done--but for who you don't know searchable by what you or your children need to learn. LRNGO is where we can be each other's greatest resource for achieving goals, and we want to help everyone connect and learn faster. Build your personal learning network and join the teaching & learning revolution!
Please feel free to drop us a line any time at info@lrngo.com. We would love to hear from you!
