Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
A lot of people have requested me to tutor them. Unfortunately, I'm only able to tutor 1 person atm. I'm very busy with irl, college and stuff. So I don't really have much spare time to tutor. Sorry...
There are some pretty good tutorials about how to use irc on the website ( http://www.smogon.com/irc/ ). The reason im reccomending irc as way to get in touch is also because most of the community uses it. Its one of the best ways to integrate yourself in the community ;).
Next also, what is your exact timezone? Im GMT +1, and the easiest way to contact me is usually between 6 and 8 pm that time (although Im on at many more hours, those are the ones im most certain about)
Hey, I think the best way to do this is over irc, you can find me in many smogon related channels (like #dreamworld). Just pop on there some time and send me a message so we can start :)
