why internationally:
of course starting locally is easier, will first do it in my city, gather feedback and iterate
courses:
no, this is post k12 and similar. it's highly targeted on a specific skill. for example, game dev with Unity (the course that I'll teach locally, as the first tutor user of my own platform), after which you should be able to create your own projects, grow a portfolio and with some luck (sometimes with tutor's help) get an internship somewhere
basically, zeroing in on immediately-applicable skills in life. you can also have a 1-week course on changing your car's oil and other car stuff -- it should be immediately obvious how you'll use those skills, not just theory
teachers:
I'll manually reach out currently, but once the platform grows they'll start as 'unverified' with some limited options, and there'll be a rigorous selection process to get verified. regardless of this, each course and each subsequent edit will be checked by us (will delegate some of the checks to gpt). this reminds me of YouTube's early days where most of the work was removing porn, but they've made it. vetting the first 100 tutors is doable. after that, we're already very close to PMF if not past it
