One of the greatest things about the Internet is that you can learn almost any skill you want using any of the numerous online resources out there. One such resource is My Aone Learning, which separates itself from the mass of face-to-face online solutions out there by operating in much the same way that Airbnb does, except that instead of connecting users with spare rooms, it’s connecting them with teachers.

In this new age, the more skills you have and the more roles you play, the better off you are. If you’re the type who wants to learn at your own pace and time, the internet offers endless opportunities. Apply for online courses or go to YouTube, where you’ll find tons of instructional videos for anything you’d like to learn. There’s also no shortage of solutions in case you prefer face-to-face interaction with a teacher or a coach. My Aone Learning is one of these. The Malaysian website connects people with learning centers and instructors who teach classes ranging from academics to health and wellness, sports, and recreational activities. “My Aone Learning ​is an online marketplace for offline lessons in Malaysia​,” says Darren Gouk, the startup’s co-founder and CEO. My Aone Learning runs like room-sharing service Airbnb in that users can scroll through listings from service providers, Gouk explains. It has a messaging feature, which allows users to communicate directly with one another on the platform. It doesn’t control the pricing, but only serves as a marketplace. Since it launched its beta version in March, My Aone Learning has registered 590​ users, 3​7​9​ lesson providers, and 2​12​ lessons ​in promotion.​
