I regret not finding it earlier.

Just an update: anyone can now signup! We’d love to get your thoughts on it once you’ve had a chance to join a game.

Thanks for the mention. We’ll be expanding past languages soon so we hope you’ll continue to watch us. Our goal has always been an open platform where people could self-organize classes and tutoring sessions based on what they were most passionate about teaching and learning. Feel free to email me and I’d be happy to set you up with a free session with an eduFire tutor!

As you get more deeply into your role, definitely reach out to me to see if there are ways to collaborate at all. It’ll take us quite a while to get to the UK, I bet, so it’ll be interesting to see what evolves in coming months/years!

I think I’ll write something about subject specific, social web sites in the near future with a focus on maths, science and english..

Cool idea though most of the content is YouTube science videos at the moment.
