What is peer-to-peer learning?Peer-to-peer learning, firmly rooted in andragogical practice, is an educational approach where individuals engage in collaborative learning experiences with their peers rather than relying solely on traditional teacher-led instruction. At Kuno, we embrace this method, facilitating knowledge sharing, skill development, and cultural exchange among our members. It fosters an interactive and collaborative learning environment, allowing individuals to learn effectively from one another's experiences and expertise.

How is peer-to-peer learning different from tutoring?Peer-to-peer learning sets itself apart from traditional tutoring by emphasizing mutual learning and collaboration among peers. Unlike tutoring, which typically involves monetary transactions and follows a structured hierarchy, peer-to-peer learning is more cost-effective and focuses on learning alongside peers of similar knowledge levels. This approach cultivates a dynamic exchange where each participant contributes to the learning process by sharing expertise and investing time. It fosters a collaborative environment that encourages informal interactions and flexible exploration of various topics, enriching the learning experience through active engagement and the sharing of diverse perspectives.

How does the platform match users for peer-to-peer exchanges?The platform matches users for peer-to-peer exchanges based on the languages they want to learn.
