teachstreet intro deck
DESCRIPTION
TeachStreet's (www.teachstreet.com) goal is to connect people who want to learn things (spanish, ruby on rails, tennis... anything...) with people who can teach them, in their local communities (coffeeshops, libraries, schools). We're targeting Individual Teachers/Coaches/Tutors and we'll deliver a rich featureset for them to merchandise their backgrounds, calendar/availability and student reviews -- these Teachers are great at teaching, but they're awful at building websites that can attract Learners. TeachStreet's being architected to take advantage of SEO and the emergence of personalized/localized search, to deliver a much richer city-focused learning experience database for potential Learners.TRANSCRIPT
