Everyone has something to learn - and everyone has something to teach. In fact, the chances are that someone who lives near you wants to learn stuff you know, or knows stuff that you want to learn. But how do you find each other?

schoolofeverything.com is a site that lets you tell people what you could teach, or find people near you to learn with.

If you make a living as an independent teacher, it's a great place to list your services. But it doesn't have to stop there. In any neighbourhood, there exists a wealth of underused skills. From active retired people, to teenage whiz-kids, to hobbyists in their garden sheds, there are people who could gain satisfaction, self-esteem - and, in some cases, a new career - from passing on what they know.

Our vision is to shake up the way the world organises learning and provide the tools for a new education system, built from the bottom up. You can get involved by signing up, creating a profile or finding people in your area who are already on the site.
