The Learning Guide Network is a collection of localized and subject-oriented websites providing extensive information about finding recreational, personal, and professional learning opportunities. Each Learning Guide site is an online magazine and database-driven directory of Learning Providers and Events.
Whether you are a major school offering thousands of classes per year or a private instructor teaching a handful of students, the Learning Guide Network can help you reach thousands of prospective students.
Mission
The idea for the Learning Guide Network was born near the end of the 20th century when founder Paul Segedin got frustrated while trying to find a woodworking class in Chicago. At the time he was owner of Real Mark, a company specializing in providing marketing services to professionals in the Real Estate industry. Shortly after his aborted attempt to find his class he sold his business, found his class, and founded a website (Classearch.com) and print magazine (Chicago Learning Guide). Classearch.com later merged with ClassesUSA.com and became a portal for online learning. Chicago Learning Guide was published quarterly for more than five years and gradually gave way to ChicagoLearningGuide.com, the flagship site in the Learning Guide Network
The Learning Guide Network, Inc. was incorporated in early 2006 with a mission of helping schools and private instructors to find students and students to find schools. Our directory and magazine covers recreational (art, craft, cooking, dance, music, yoga, etc.), personal (religion, personal growth, spiritual, etc.) and professional (computers, resume writing, job skills, etc.) learning activities.
Learning Guide Network sites provide paid and free advertising for qualifying schools. It is our belief that learning is a lifetime activity and our directory encompasses offerings for newborns thru seniors. While our focus is on "brick & mortar" and "face-to-face" learning we also cover online and other forms of electronic and digital education
