#4 sounds like an awesome idea. who's with me? finding the right balance between how much people are willing to pay based on the quality of the teachers and making it worth while for quality teachers to spend their time would be a challenge I'd imagine among other things but I really do like the premise.

Let the teachers set their own prices! Students can decide whether a teachers reputation, past students, style, etc. are worth the cost being asked for.

My name is Scott Mandel, I'm the Co-Founder of Snapclass. You are right we are similar to this idea. Snapclass connects teachers and students live via to exchange knowledge. Anyone can be a teacher and host classes for free or for a fee. Students can choose their teacher based reputation (reviews and rating), profile and availability.

We're launching in the next two weeks and we are looking for talented people.

- Talented backend developers in ruby on rails

- Java developers with experience in real-time video conferencing

I had a similar idea a few months back, using video teaching but with very talented people in the 3rd world say India and 1st world (to start America) students
