Websites for everything from Spanish grinds to scuba diving!
Bored after school? Recently unemployed? Dying to do something interesting? Well, check out the following websites:
Mindhives
Mindhives is a kind of ‘marketplace’ where teachers of anything (sport, music, cookery, cosmetics, fashion) can list their services and connect with potential students. The people that advertise their services come from all types of backgrounds – from professionals with decades of experience in their fields to people that have taken an avid interest in a particular hobby.
Mindhives offers everything from Spanish grinds to scuba diving instruction, so there is something for everyone.
The website is easy to browse and you can search for lessons by county as well as by area of interest.
Once you have identified a lesson, simply click on it to get further info and the teacher’s rates. Then, contact the teacher to see about booking a lesson.
