VGC Tutor Profiles - Applications Open [Approved Tutors Only]

***Bloo***** · Aug 21st, 2012, 3:18:56 PM

Only approved tutors may post in this thread.

Doubles tutoring has now been added to Battling 101 to provide a chance for players to learn the VGC metagame from notable Smogon VGC contributors and players. These players have experience playing in different VGC metagames and are proficient in all doubles metagames. Being a tutor requires dedication and patience to teach new players the ins and outs of doubles. Tutors that have proven to fulfill their duties with regularity will earn a badge and be upgraded to community member status.

If you are not currently a tutor and think you are qualified, please PM Battling 101 and Solace why you think you would be a good fit. Please make sure you fill out all of the information in the tutor profile. Here is the template:

Timezone: EST
Regular Online Hours (in EST): 7PM to 11:30PM Weekdays, very flexible weekends
Personal Profile: Hi, I'm TheMantyke. I'm a college student with a heavily afternoon based schedule making evenings my most open timeslot for tutoring. I enlisted into Battling 202 in one of its later sessions and ended up learning enough to take 3rd at my regional. My old tutor is no longer in the tutoring scene, so I'd like to keep up the cycle of philanthropy and tutor what she's taught me and what I know. I like giving introductions to VGC and teaching basic VGC team building (I am especially happy to teach the latter, as I understand many users, including my self formally, struggle with it). Beyond tutoring, I help users get Pokemon they need for the real life VGC events and update Smogon's Facebook page.
