SkillShare

With Skillshare, teachers are entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals who are passionate about sharing their skills and knowledge. You don’t need prior experience to teach a course (plus you can post one for free), though Skillshare does provide guidance for new instructors. Some instructor profiles are pretty sparse – we’d have liked to see more information to help make a decision about which instructor is the best fit.
