Lifelong Learning Match-Up

Posted by Carol Coletta on August 08, 2008

Here's one exciting path to lifelong learning.

TeachStreet has just launched in Portland, Oregon. According to Springwise, the site features "more than 55,000 teachers, trainers, tutors, instructors, coaches and classes in the Pacific Northwest, 25,000 of which are in the Portland area... TeachStreet aims to unearth hidden teaching talent. Convinced that everyone is an expert in something—'You have a hidden talent for beer-brewing, pie-baking or parenting and wouldn't mind showing off your mad skills by inviting folks out to your backyard, your kitchen, or local coffee shop'—TeachStreet encourages everyday experts to list a class, either as a jumping off point for a new career or side business, or as a way to meet new friends with shared interests."
