Seriously, FairTutor is a great looking site, would love a post on how you built it, found the tutors, etc.
- jasonkester 16y agoYou caught me pushing a new build. Try again now. FairTutor will get its own "Rate My Startup" post, and probably a few "Making of" entries on the Expat Software blog when I get closer to a public launch. I've never been one to publicize my stuff when the front page is just collecting emails. Even though there's a full-blown website running beta classes back there, I'll wait until there's something you can actually see before asking people to take a look at it.
- jasonkester 16y agoAs for finding tutors, I went to the source. Last year I spent 9 months backpacking my way across Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Panama. Along the way I spent nearly as many days talking with local Spanish language schools as I did surfing. Assuming any success whatsoever when the site launches, I'll try to follow up with a Central America tour next year. It's only the responsible thing to do, and besides, the surfing is better.
- rubyrescue 16y agoSites where you're building a marketplace of clients and providers are always a bit harder to bootstrap so i find it interesting; also i live in South America and thought about building a product like this.
