Ang Peregrino Recommends 65: TeachMate.Org

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 some kind of “dating service” in education and learning and development.
The idea of the barter of knowledge– teaching others your competency and learning something in return– is ingenious and really cool. I see it as humanity’s way of sharing knowledge and improving the human gene pool.
The essence of this service is simple: whoever teaches — learns. Some of the few simple and basic principles that TeachMate.Org believes in:
- 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.

For teaching us that knowledge and learning can be for free, because there are people generous enough to share them. And for giving people the opportunity to teach others what they know and do, AngPeregrino Recommends TeachMate.Org this week.
