Teache connects users with instructors for in-person classes. Instructors are able set-up their own store listing at our platform while we invest into bringing customers to them.
Hi PH👋
I am Diego, the founder of Teache.
Teache is a mobile app that connects users with instructors for in-person classes. These classes can be almost anything, from skydiving to firewalking to math. As long as there is an expert on the subject, there can be a class. I created Teache for two main reasons:
🌟For the instructors:
While in Hawaii during the pandemic, I wanted to learn freediving and surfing. Despite the abundance of locals with expertise in these subjects, there were only two shops on the entire island where I could book a lesson. I realized that many experts in specific subjects lack the financial means not only to open their own store but also to attract customers. Teache allows instructors to open their own store on our platform for free, while we invest in bringing customers to them.
🌟For the customers:
Every weekend, I wake up to the same question from my wife: "What are we doing today?" and spend time trying to figure out new activities we could do. Even though I live in New York, a city with numerous entertainment options, I found myself doing the same things every week (bars and restaurants). With Teache, the idea is to have a wide range of activities, new experiences, and lessons we can enjoy from local instructors, all on one platform.
We focus on in-person classes to encourage disconnecting, being offline, and having personal experiences with others.
🌐The app is currently available on iOS and Android. While the app is available nationwide, we are currently investing in New York as our initial market.
Please let me know if you have any feedback!

Diego, Teache sounds like a fantastic solution for both instructors and customers. The focus on in-person classes and local experts is unique and refreshing, especially in a world dominated by online learning. I appreciate your emphasis on disconnecting and engaging in real-world experiences. As a New Yorker, I'm excited to see the diverse range of activities Teache can bring to our weekends. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing this grow!
@mo_zda Thank you for the kind words!! It's very encouraging to hear your feedback :)

Hi Diego, Teache sounds like an incredible solution for both instructors and those looking for new experiences! I love how it empowers local experts to share their skills without the need for a physical store. The focus on in-person classes to encourage offline, personal connections is refreshing. I'm in NYC, so I'll definitely check out the app. Any plans to expand features for group classes in the future? Great work and best of luck with the launch!
@zzz_damo1 Thank you for feedback!
When the instructor signs-up they are able to pick the type of classes the teach:
- Private
- Group
- Private & Group
So yes, we do have Group classes available already :)

Hi Diego, congrats on launching Teache! I love the concept of connecting local experts with people eager to learn new skills. The story about finding limited options for freediving in Hawaii really resonates. It's amazing that Teache provides a platform for instructors to share their knowledge without the financial burden of opening a store. I can't wait to see the variety of classes available, especially as you expand in NYC. Best of luck!
@zenda1122 Thank you! Currently we are exclusively focused in offline classes. In the future we might provide a separate option, but for now is exclusively offline.
Interesting concept. However, it's a two-sided marketplace, so it will be difficult to get both sides on board at the same time.
Which side are you most focused on right now? What's your approach with this platform?
@yuvraj_sarda Thanks! We initially focused on signing up instructors. However, we are now focusing on Users as we have found that percentage of Users will become Instructors organically.

This is a pretty cool platform! There are tons of services that can't rely on Google Maps for students to discover, because instructors simply have no physical addresses. In the past, I've seen this personally with driving instructors and fitness instructors.
I think with a marketplace, the hardest part is getting a good amount of supplies and demands. So there would be a lot of work to start scaling. What are your thoughts on getting supplies onto the platform?
Regardless, congrats @diegdieg0 and team! A much needed platform!
@tonyhanded Thank you, Tony! Yes, we have a lot of work ahead of us.
What we've learned so far is that we need to start by building a strong base of instructors first. As we shift our focus and start attracting users, we find that a percentage of them often become instructors themselves. Once we establish a solid instructor base, we can then shift our efforts to attracting more users, leading to a natural growth of instructors from within our user community."

@diegdieg0 - that's cool, thanks for sharing! Good luck with everything!
This is super cool! If I can be honest, I didn't like the landing page, it's good but can be improved. The animation at the top without letting me scroll was annoying, the section where it says "Share Your Talents
& Become a Teacher" can be more symmetrical and aligned, it feels all over the place.
Love the app and the idea, I'll give it a go! Congrats!
@chandula Thank you for the feedback about the website, is helpful. Will keep it in mind.

Love this idea! Congrats guys! Not everyone has the time or patience to struggle with multiple failed google searches or wasting time trying to find local services on Google maps only to miss out on the amazing instructors offering online courses only or to be bombarded with sub-par instructors who paid to promote their listing.
I am curious about how you vet the instructors. I do see that you mentioned suspending instructors who get multiple bad reviews, but as a user, I wouldn't want to try out an instructor whose expertise isn't vetted and risk spending my money on a bad experience. So I'm curious about what the threshold might be for a bad instructor to be suspended and how you pre-vet any instructors looking to list their services on Teache.
@dayem_saeed That's a good point. When we receive an instructor submission, we typically review additional information such as LinkedIn profiles, professional websites, or social media channels to verify their experience with the class they intend to teach. If these sources are insufficient, we conduct a phone interview to learn more about their qualifications.
As you mentioned, users are likely to avoid instructors without reviews and prefer those with positive feedback. Therefore, new instructors often offer special discounts or lower rates compared to others to compensate for their lack of reviews.
