Teach what you know, learn what you don't.
Skillswap pairs people who can teach each other. Nobody pays in money. One hour of teaching earns one hour of learning, so a guitar lesson can pay for a resume review.

Three steps from "I can teach this" to a first session
-
1
List your skills
Add a few things you can teach and a few you want to learn. Cooking, Python, spoken Hindi, bike repair, anything you can explain in an hour.
-
2
Get matched
Skillswap suggests people whose list fits yours, in your city or on video. You both see the match before anything is booked.

Swap hours
Teach for an hour, then learn for an hour. Each hour you teach is an hour you can spend learning from anyone on Skillswap.

If you know something, you have something to trade
- Students
- Turn what you learned this semester into hours you can spend on a skill that isn't in your syllabus.
- Retirees
- Decades of experience are worth an hour to someone starting out. Learn something new in return.
- Freelancers
- Swap a skill outside your usual field without paying for another course.
- Hobbyists
- Teach the thing you do for fun and get better at the next one.
