Tell us a little about yourself: I've been in VGC for two years now, went 3-4 at the 2012 Philly regionals, and I've been training and getting a lot better, but I'd like to have a little bit more help in battling. I'd also like this to help out my friend who's brand-new to VGC and competitive Pokemon, too. My priorities for tutoring aren't that high, so if the schedules are packed, I'll be fine for skipping out this time.

For my background, I play Starcraft 2 mainly. I enjoy learning the ins and outs of the games I play. I'd like to note, i'm still a complete newbie when it comes to competitive battling, so i'm hoping for someone who can teach me step by step.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: EST (-4) 5 am- 7am (every day)
What tier do you want to learn?: Seniors
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a new college student who has been a Pokemon fan since it came to the US in the 90s. I like not so typical tactics and avoid using Pokemon I can't breed (like Legendaries). Since I'm just starting college I don't have too sound of a schedule, so I'm fine with learning across time zones (hence my hours being early for me). I've played Singles most of my Pokemon career and would love to finally break into the world of competitive VGC. I love other video games such as Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, and I also love the Harry Potter series.
