This is a nice idea. However, I would suggest a better name. Skimling is derived from the word "skim", and "skim over" means to READ SUPERFICIALLY. This is not a good message to prospective students.
You need to think harder about quality control. A simple email-based dispute process is a start, but you need more. How about teacher rating? Teacher credentials, etc.
- jjets718 15y agoImproving quality control is probably the most important feature I'd like to add for the next iteration of the product. Each teacher that signs up is approved by me individually; so I go the website of the teacher's current employer and confirm that they are in fact a teacher. A rating system is definitely a critical next step for the product though. I also appreciate your input about the name. I always thought of it as being catchy, but will work on finding one that promotes a better message. Thanks for checking out the site!
- stfu 15y agoFully support the criticism on the name. But it is a nice idea with quite a lot of potential. Many options to upsell your customer base into tutoring/coaching services etc.
