After struggling to find good music teachers for my children in my neighborhood, I decided that there must be a better way to find the right tutor: Thus the idea of Apprentus was born.

The problem that my family and millions others face each year is that it is so difficult to find good tutors in the local area. You might check bulletin boards or go to yellow page websites to see what is available in your area, you then try to verify their quality and all seems well, its only when you finally make that phone call when you find out that the teacher is not available at the right time, doesn't teach children, or just isn't a good fit. This seemingly simple process can easily take hours, days or weeks.

Apprentus is a trusted community marketplace that lets you find the right teacher within minutes.

With Marius Andra and Janne Harju, we launched a beta version of the website in 2013. Be it a new language, a school tutor for your children or a music instrument you’d like to learn to play, on Apprentus.com you can select the kind of class you are looking for, narrow your search results using filters and see a list of qualified and trusted teachers near you. The Apprentus team has spent months in collecting the relevant information on each teacher presented, so you don’t need to.
