Music teacher marketplace

A local marketplace where music teachers and students find each other, get paid and work together in one place.

3 hrs

Extra paid work per teacher each week

100s

Teachers and students matched

In one layer

Discovery and scheduling (payments handled off platform)

The problem

Music teachers and students had no reliable way to find each other locally, agree terms, get paid and work together. Discovery was word of mouth and the admin was a mess.

The approach — the N+1 sequence, before it had a name

We built a marketplace connecting teachers and students, with discovery, scheduling and payments in one layer.

UNDERSTAND

Inside the work

Mapped how teachers and students struggled to find each other locally.

WORKFLOW + DATA

Codify & capture

Built discovery, scheduling and payments into one layer.

EXECUTION

Run it at scale

Handed teachers three extra hours of paid work a week.

The result

Teachers gained an average of three hours of extra paid work a week as discovery, scheduling and payment moved into one place. A fragmented local market became a working marketplace.

Match the two sides, handle the money, and the market appears.
