THE SIMPLE PART

How SkillSwap works

Three steps. No wallets. No pricing. Just hours.

01

List a skill

Publish what you can teach in a one-hour block. From watercolour to Kubernetes.

02

Get matched

Learners request a time. You accept, both parties show up, and the hour is yours.

03

Swap hours

Both confirm the session ended. One credit moves. Ratings settle. Repeat.

EQUAL VALUE

Popular skill categories

Every kind of hour is worth the same.

BUILT TO BE FAIR

Trust is earned in hours

SkillSwap treats the credit ledger like a promise: simple, transparent, and impossible to game alone.

01

Two-sided completion

No one loses a credit until teacher and learner independently say the hour happened.

02

Reputation that means something

Ratings follow completed swaps, so your track record reflects actual time shared.

03

One hour always equals one hour

There are no prices, bidding, or hidden fees—only skills, curiosity, and time.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know before your first swap.

What is a credit?+

One credit is one hour of learning. You earn one only after you teach for an hour and both people confirm the session took place.

Why do I start with two credits?+

Two welcome credits let you book your first lessons before you have taught. It is the on-ramp to a community where everyone can contribute.

How do sessions get confirmed?+

The teacher and learner each confirm completion. Only then does SkillSwap move one credit from the learner to the teacher.

Can I teach more than one skill?+

Absolutely. Each skill gets its own listing, availability, level, and description so members know exactly what an hour with you can cover.
