Welcome to the OM Tutoring Program!
This is the revamp of the old OM Mentoring program. This program aims to pair trusted, active members of our community who are what we consider the best of their tiers to users who want to learn their specific tiers. 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! I will try to pair everyone to an enthusiastic and active tutor. We'll try and pair everyone up with their best fit!
You can always sign up! There's no specific time during which you have to apply, you can just ask me whenever you want and I'll try to help you.
The actual program will go like this.
This thread will function as a general informational thread. You can ask questions about it here, and I keep track of who's tutoring who at the moment. Additionally, you can also post here if you want to be tutored, although you can also just PM me. If you feel like you'd be a good tutor, you could post here, but chances are that I'll approach you anyway. Both should follow this scheme if they post.
Username:
Timezone:
Tiers:
If I'm not happy with how a tutor behaves, he'll probably be (temporarily) removed from the project. This way we can make sure no other users have a bad experience. Tutors are assigned on an as-needed basis, so if there's a lot of ask for STABmons tutors, I'll ask more people to help out with the problem.
This thread will be locked for a few days to allow Mentor profiles, then will be opened for Mentees to sign up.
You are responsible to mention whether you want to tutor or to be tutored.
Also, tutees are responsible to find their tutor and tutors are responsible to find their tutees.
Feel free to PM Ransei in Pokemon Showdown or Smogon if you have any questions.

You can always sign up! There's no specific time during which you have to apply, you can just ask me whenever you want and I'll try to help you.
The actual program will go like this.
- Sign-Up: Users can sign up by posting in this thread or PMing me on Smogon or on PS. You'll have to give you Smogon and PS name, the metagame you want to learn and your timezone, so I can pair you up with a good tutor. You can submit any metagame, although the bigger metagames will probably be standard and have the most tutors, you can ask for a smaller one, like OMotMs or general metagames and I'll try to find someone to help you!
- Pairing: After you sign up, I'll try to approach users who could be fit as your mentor. I'll try to have a standard list of tutors, but if they don't fit your timezone or can't be active I'll try to find one anyway. I'll post in the thread when I assign someone, and will make a conversation with you and your tutor, so you can communicate and I can follow your process.
- Training: At this point, it'll be between you and your mentor. You'll have to try and schedule a time and at that point work on the tier. You'll get advice with teambuilding, with battling and how the tier is put together. You'll learn whatever you want to know, such as the threats in the metagame and what you need to check, as well as general battling skills as how to take a risk, identify roles in a team and win the lead matchup. If you're not happy with your mentor, you can tell me and I'll try to fix it. This phase will last approximately 2 to 3 weeks, depending on when you feel that you know enough about the tier. It shouldn't last any longer so that the tutors can also move on to other users.
