Times are subject to change, especially on Saturday, where I may have more time one Saturday, and not be on at all on another.
What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU, for now.
Tell us a little about yourself: Well, as you can see, I am a very busy person. I get caught up in everything, really. I would like to focus on my battle skills, such as prediction, which are really horrible. I am a decent teambuilder, but I could use some help there too.
EDIT: yeah... got my timezone wrong.

Tell us a little about yourself:
I am an aspiring pianist that currently goes to the most asian school you can find in the US. Life is hard and AP's are in a month. :) My main activity is playing piano, but I also spin pens and mountain bike as hobbies. I try not to stress out too much over school, so I manage around 4 hours of sleep a night :/.
I have had some successes with building teams and playing, as I peaked #54 on Smogon's Dream World OU Ladder. However, I feel that my teambuilding skills and playing skills need a lot of refinement in general.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT-5, I.E. EST. Normally available in that timezone between 4-5:30, 8:00-9:00 on weekdays, and generally available on the weekend.
What tier do you want to learn?: Primarily, BW OU. Secondarily, information on how to adapt to a new metagame. If there is time, I would also like learn more specifically about Gen IV OU and Gen III OU.
Tell us a little about yourself: Currently a sophomore in high school in Greater Cincinnati. Likes math.
I attempted to get into the Pt OU metagame, but after several failed attempts to get a tutor (failed mostly due to timing issues), I decided to wait for BW to avoid being in the "generation gap" situation ADV players I heard faced in DPP OU.
This approach backfired, thanks to many Gen IV concepts being far more applicable to Gen V than Gen III to Gen IV, especially early Gen V-and after several times in which I abused a stereotypical rain team at about an 1100 rating (and had many lulz using Drain Punch SD Ludicolo against Ferrothorns), I got out of the loop.
I would like to get back in the game. I would prefer being tutored by someone who has played many metagames (and thusly knows how to adapt to different metagames) but has particular skill at B/W. Would also prefer a well-known tutor with a good rating-but doesn't everybody?
Also, I was waitlisted for round 48, and I want to make sure I'm still in.

Tell us a little about yourself: Hi, I'm a sixteen-year old recluse from the Midwest who likes to read. My favorite book is Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. I took a seven-month hiatus from seriously playing Pokemon, but now I'd like to start playing again. I have some issues with teambuilding and prediction, which I'd really like to fix. Other than that, I'm sort of friendly - or at least I'd like to think so!
As far as other information goes... I'm a sophomore in high school with a 3.94 cumulative GPA and I'm entering the IB program in the fall, I'm not that mean, or at least that's what I've been told, and as said before, I'm pretty reserved and high-strung. I'm also pretty flexible when it comes to my schedule, I think. After 6:00 P.M. on weekdays (I babysit five days a week), we could probably schedule any time in the day to hold tutoring sessions; just tell me in advance! :)

A little about me: I used to be decent in DPP UU (top rating in the 1200-1250 range) back in the days of Shoddy when I first got into competition, but with a slew of new Pokemon out and the ban lists still in flux, I can use all the help I can get in finding my footing again. Two deaths in the family in the last year have really rocked my self-confidence and mental toughness, and this compounded with an autism spectrum disorder has really rocked me in the mind game department.

Tell us a little about yourself: I've been competitively battling for a bit now (a few months). My introductory generation was gen. 4. I've been playing pokemon since generation 1 but mainly as a collector rather than a battler. I actually began getting serious when I discovered this forum and Shoddy Battle. What originally discouraged me from competitive battling was the fact that I couldn't find many opponents and difficulty of training my pokemon to 100. Shoddy Battle provided me with an opportunity to face a variety of people and Smogon gave me the foundation of pre-thought movesets, team building, and battle analysis. So, I decided to pick up the competitive scene and I loved it. I'm having some difficulty transitioning into gen 5 though and I would love help. My hobbies include chess, badminton, tennis, music, and video games. I tend to procrastinate a lot... Yup. I realize that I don't have 150 posts but I'm hoping that the panel or the tutor will overlook that and give me the opportunity to learn this new generation ^-^

I'd like to learn BW OU primarily and maybe a little BW Ubers if we have time.
Me: I'm a pretty nerdy guy, I built a gaming PC in the school holidays fairly recently so I'd say I'm pretty skilled in that sort of are. Played since I found Red on the floor when I was like 6 but only competetively since post-chomp Gen 4. My highest peak is #42 on the DW OU ladder and I think I could get to #1 but I'm still a little rough around the edges and could use some help regarding advanced teambuilding and better play. Also I find it kind of diffiult to remember threats when teambuilding sometimes (especially beyond the top 10-15 mons) so some help with that would be cool. I have a couple of irl friends who I got interested in competitive battling that I kind of teach off and off so I'd probably be relaying advice to them as well if that's ok.

Tell us a little about yourself: I game a lot (big fan of RPGs and optimization in said genre), and though I can't say I've gotten really good at anything in particular, I've gotten to be decent at a lot of things. I enjoy J-pop, manga, and anime, am hopeless with anything slightly related to current events and pop culture, and can generally be a pretty chill guy. I've been playing Pokemon competitively since late ADV, though my teams were nothing special since Netbattle allowed ubers (fuck yeah kyogre rain team). I'm interested in improving my teambuilding, long-term planning, and prediction to some extent. Please take care of me :3

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a college sophomore studying Kinesiology on a premed track. I pretty much just recently got into competitive pokemon battling, so I need a lot of help in pretty much all aspects.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: U.S. Central Time (GMT: -06:00). I am most often available 6:00-10:00PM Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Sometimes I am available on the weekend around the same time on Saturday and Sunday.
What tier do you want to learn?: I would like to learn BW OU, as that is the tier I most often play in. If I feel solid in that maybe a little BW Ubers.
Tell us a little about yourself: I am student in college, studying to be an elementary school teacher. I played pokemon as a kid but never picked up competitive play until I was reintroduced in 4th gen by my friends. I can be very competitive when I play but am usually graceful (though sometimes I can get discouraged). I want to be able to create better teams and get the mechanics of the game down so I am looking for some help. I also want some help to work on effective team building strategies. One of my biggest faults in playing competitively is that I screw up more often then I should. I am hoping to pick up some helpfull tips and hints to lessen my mistakes and have a better feel for the game. Hope someone is willing to help, and thank you. =)
