Matching is how Lemma pairs people for the sessions that generate evidence. It supports the Skills Passport rather than standing apart from it.

Not random pairing.
Most platforms pair you with whoever is available. Lemma analyzes complementary skills – matching someone who teaches what you want to learn with someone who wants to learn what you teach.
The result is a two-way exchange where both partners gain something. Every session produces value for both sides, not just one.
Algorithm at work
12 compatibility signals are analyzed in real time to find your ideal learning partner.
Compatibility signals
Skills, availability, timezone, language, pace, and experience are all weighted in the match score.
Skill overlap
The best matches happen when one teaches what the other wants to learn – true mutual benefit.
Session booking
Once matched, book a session directly from the chat. Both partners confirm and it appears on both calendars.
Give your skills somewhere to live.
Bring your evidence together and start building a Skills Passport that can grow with you.
