# Education Marketplace The School of Everything By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-09-06 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/education-marketplace-school-of-everything References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2008/09/learning-marketplace-school-of-everything.html) & [schoolofeverything](http://schoolofeverything.com/) The [School of Everything](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belong-gaming-arenas) is an addition to marketplaces like Foodzie, [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sloap) and Threadless that offers not homemade products, but education. The School of Everything is a place where tutors and teachers can share their knowledge about, well, *everything*, and where pupils can find professors. This [education marketplace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narrative-nooks) works just like other types of marketplaces. Teachers and tutors can set their own rates and select their own subject matter. They can work for free or barter with another teacher in exchange for their services. The School of Everything is open to anyone in the world, and so long as subject matter is legal, it's similarly unrestricted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Education Marketplace:** The School of Everything is a disruptive innovation opportunity that creates a marketplace for tutors and teachers to share their knowledge and for pupils to find professors. - **Knowledge Sharing Economy:** The School of Everything taps into the growing trend of the knowledge sharing economy, providing a platform for individuals to exchange knowledge and skills. - **Flexible Pricing Models:** The School of Everything's model of allowing teachers to set their own rates and work for free or barter with other teachers for their services introduces a disruptive innovation opportunity in flexible pricing models for education. ### Who This Affects Most - **Education Technology:** The School of Everything falls within the education technology industry, offering a digital platform for knowledge sharing and teaching. - **Online Marketplaces:** The School of Everything operates as an online marketplace, aligning with the trend of the growing popularity of online platforms for various services. - **Freelance Economy:** The School of Everything contributes to the freelance economy by providing a platform for independent tutors and teachers to offer their services and monetize their expertise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Learning Connection Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teache.md) - [Educational Freelancer Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-learning-platform.md) - [Education Management Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schoolytics.md) - [Comprehensive Online Learning Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-learning-platforms.md) - [Customizable Edtech Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edtech-platform.md) - [Student Network Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studeen.md) - [Third-Party Artisanal Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michaels.md) - [Entrepreneur-Focused Online Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agora-exchange.md) - [Used Component Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framework-marketplace.md)
