How it works

Three simple steps.

  1. Join free

    Tell us your schedule and what you can share, from tutoring to sports to cooking.

  2. Screening, then matching

    Planned before any in-person match: ID, photo and background checks plus 3 references.

  3. Visit on a set schedule

    Meet in public first, then regular visits you both agree on.

What you get, and what we ask.
