Springwise: TeachStreet launched in Portland, Oregon yesterday. The site now 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. Besides offering existing instructors an alternative to advertising on Craigslist and bulletin boards, 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.

Thanks a lot for the mention. Its great to see people excited about the idea. I’m a Community Developer here at TeachStreet, and its been great to speak with teachers and student alike. So far, teachers have seen success here in Seattle, and we’re quite excited for Portland.
Cheers,
Joseph
Joseph,
Any plans to add online class delivery to your site? It would really expand the reach of education if people from around the world could teach and learn from one another.
