{co-run with Snaquaza ; approved by The Immortal and Eevee general}

Welcome to the OM Mentoring Program! This is a program being hosted by Snaquaza and unfixable, with the aid of Eevee General and The Immortal. This program aims to pair trusted, active members of our community who are what we consider the best of their tiers. These programs will last in increments of two weeks, with two days for each sign up thread. Our purpose is to get more people active in OMs and raise new and prominent battlers from the dust, and we hope you can make friends as well! Our pairings will be selected by Snaquaza and I (unfixable), as we'll most likely know these mentors. We'll try and pair everyone up with their best fit!

Each round will have phases of sign ups and actual mentoring. These phases will go as so:
  • Step One - Sign Ups [Mentor]
    • This is the portion where anyone who would like to apply to be a mentor will post in the thread with their credentials. This portion lasts three days.
  • Step Two - Sign Ups [Mentees]
    • This is the portion where anyone who would like to be mentored will post saying which tier they'd like to be mentored in. Do note that not everyone will be able to get picked! Anyone not picked will receive priority in the following rounds. This portion lasts three days.
  • Step Three - Mentoring
    • This will be a two week long portion where the mentee and the mentor interact and... well, get mentored!
  • Step Four - Feedback
    • Lasting for 24 hours after the two weeks, all mentees are free to PM both Snaquaza and I (unfixable) with feedback on their mentor. It's not required, but it's highly recommended so that we can ensure our mentors are up to quality.
  • Step Five - Cooldown
    • This portion is just what it sounds like: the cooldown. After the three full weeks of each round, we'll need a cooldown; this cooldown lasts for 48 hours, then we reboot and begin again.
This thread will be for Mentor signups. Mentors have to be users who are active, helpful, and intelligent. They have to have knowledge of the metagame they wish to mentor, and they must not flake out. These users must be willing to complete the two weeks of mentoring and should be able to teach as well. The users we pick will have to be patient and respected as well. This mentor sign up thread will occur every round, and we'll keep the same mentors; however, we'll offer the chance for new mentors to be added every round following this one. In this thread, please post the following:

Username:
Timezone:
Tiers [that you would like to mentor]:
[Must pick from: STABmons / Almost Any Ability / Balanced Hackmons / Monotype / PU] (note: picking only one increases your chance of being picked!)
Why you want to be a mentor:

POST YOUR APPLICATION HERE: LINK.

The mentors we pick will be up to Snaquaza, Eevee General, The Immortal, and my (unfixable) own opinions. Snaquaza and I will pick five mentors from each tier, provided we get that many users signing up, and we will then run them by Eevee and Immortal to ensure they're good fits; however, if five users do not sign up and we deem one of the under five unfit to mentor, we hold the right to only pick say 2 out of the 3. All selected mentors will be given a "test" to ensure they know the tier and how to teach it. Snaquaza and I will pick with our own unbiased opinions and are looking for users who have demonstrated knowledge of the tier, patience, ability to teach, and kindness.

This thread will be locked for a few days to allow Mentor profiles, then will be opened for Mentees to sign up.

If you've read everything in this post and understand the rules and details, please feel free to now post your applications! If you have any questions regarding any part of this program, feel free to PM me (unfixable) or Snaquaza.

The greatest story of them all.
is a Community Contributoris a Top Tiering Contributor
Name: FreeRoamer
Tier You Wish To Learn: STABmons
Timezone: GMT
Sentence: I'm a mod in Monotype, and I'd class myself as a pretty decent battler in the tiers that I play, however I've never really been that much of a success in STABmons, despite loving the concept of the metagame, as the teams I always make seem to get easily swept by one thing or another. Definitely a tier I'd love to get more experienced in.
