Marketplace

Find a skill. Offer a skill.

One side lists what they teach and where. The other searches for it. SkillPort provides the search, the profile, the reviews — and everything that happens after the two sides agree.

How the SkillPort marketplace works

An educator publishes a public profile — what they teach, where, their credentials and their reviews — at no cost, and posts ads that each name one skill and the Malaysian areas they teach it in. A learner or guardian searches by skill and place, in either order, and sees the educators who match, sorted by rating, number of reviews or newest. Fees are shown in the educator’s own words. A learner can message an educator before enrolling, and once they enrol the same app carries the schedule, the attendance, the progress notes and every payment.

Find a skill

For learners and parents

Tell SkillPort what you or your child want to learn and where — a town name, or just your postcode — and it shows the educators who teach it there or online, with their ratings and the reviews behind them. Message one before you enrol.

  • A postcode is enough. Five digits, and the app knows the town.
  • Every educator shown teaches that skill in the place you asked for, or online — and you are told how many there are before you tap.
  • If nobody teaches it in your town yet, the app widens the search itself and tells you it did. You never get an empty screen with a filter to fiddle with.
  • Ratings come only from learners and guardians who were enrolled, under their own names.

Offer a skill

For educators

A public profile is how a learner finds you — what you teach, where, your credentials, and reviews from people who have actually studied with you. It costs nothing to publish, and one tap hides it again. An ad sits beside it, naming one skill and the areas you teach it in; the plan every new educator starts on includes one live ad.

  • Target real places — a state, a town, the neighbourhoods you cover — or teach online and be found from anywhere.
  • Fees in your own words, not a number we set. There is no price sort, so nobody is ranked for being cheapest.
  • Where you post an ad, the app shows what learners near you have been searching for — “14 people looked for piano near Kulai this month” — counts only, never who.
  • Reviews come only from people who studied with you, and you can answer any of them in public.

The rules it runs under

A search you can trust is the whole product.

A marketplace is only worth using if the results are honest. These are the rules SkillPort’s search is built on, not features on a roadmap.

  1. 01

    Ask by skill or by place, either first

    Say the skill or say the place — whichever you already know. Answer one and the app offers only what the other can actually reach: piano near Skudai, or the towns where piano is taught. No option leads to an empty result.

  2. 02

    The number is educators, not ads

    Every option carries how many educators stand behind it, and zero says zero. Counting ads instead would let one educator posting four times look like a busy town.

  3. 03

    Paying puts a listing up, not at the top

    An ad costs an educator a credit to run. It does not buy a better place in your results — sorting is by rating, by how many reviews there are, or by newest — and an ad on a bought credit looks exactly like one included in a plan.

  4. 04

    Never a screen with nothing on it

    Ask for a skill nobody teaches in your town and the app widens the search itself and says so: “Nobody in Tampoi yet — 3 nearby and 5 online.” A filter to fiddle with is not an answer.

  5. 05

    One list of skills, three languages

    Search “piano” and you will find the educator who wrote her ad in Chinese and tagged it 钢琴. Both sides pick from the same list, so nothing is lost between two words for the same thing.

  6. 06

    Every listing is read before it goes up

    The title, the description and each translation are checked for hateful, sexual, harassing, illegal or scam content before the listing is stored, and refused if it carries any. If the check cannot run at all, the listing is refused rather than published unread.

Questions people ask

How do I find a teacher on SkillPort?

Tell the app what you want to learn and where — a town name or your postcode — and it lists the educators who teach that there or online, with their ratings and reviews. You can message one before enrolling.

What does it cost an educator to be listed?

Publishing a public profile costs nothing, and the plan every new educator starts on includes one live ad. Running further ads alongside it uses ad credits. SkillPort is free during early access and we do not publish pricing yet.

Can an educator pay to appear higher in my results?

No. Results sort by rating, by number of reviews, or by newest, and there is no price sort. Paying puts a listing up; it never moves one up. An ad running on a purchased credit is indistinguishable from one included in a plan.

Are the reviews real?

A review can be written only by a learner or guardian who was actually enrolled with that educator, and it is published under their own name. Educators cannot review other educators, and an educator may reply to a review in public but cannot remove it.

Can I search the marketplace today?

Not yet. The marketplace is built and in the app, but it opens last, after the classes, records and payments around it. SkillPort is in early access — message us and we will tell you plainly where it stands.
