    Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi Ubers, Wifi UU, Wifi LU
    About me: I'm UU QC for PO Wiki and Battle Factory Ubers Reviewer, so I know Pokemon sets very well and how they synergize and whatnot. When I enter a No Preview Ubers tournament, I usually emerge undefeated and many people rejoice when I have to leave. I've written many analyses in Ubers, OU, UU, LU, and NU. I've taught many PO newbs and helped them with Pokemon sets and teambuilding. I may even be a better tutor than a battler, because I'm extremely prone to choking ;~;. Had fun time tutoring UU last round tho would appreciate more activity.

    Approved last couple of rounds.

    Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi OU, Wifi Ubers
    About me: I'm a mod on PO Server. As part of the Spartak Stunfisks, I went 4-3 in Wifi OU during POCL 2. I've peaked both OU and Ubers ladder once, and I'm comfortable with every play style. Last year, I battled my way to round 6 in ST9, where I lost to Thatsjustpeachy to a 50/50 in battle three. I was the starting OU player for US Central in this POWC as well, going 8-1 in OU and Ubers. I was also a starting member of Team Benelux in the latest Smogon WCoP. Finally, I'm currently 4-0 (not including all-star week) in POCL3. I like to help people and have done so many times unofficially on the server. I'm relatively active and very sociable. I've tutored for a couple of rounds now, and I (and from what I heard, my tutees as well) enjoy doing it.

But yeah I know almost all areas of UU tier and have played most top level players so ik what to expect in battles other then ladder.

    About me: I'm an HA on the PO Server. I got to the final of the OU Subforum where a roll decided the winner. I'm currently 3-1 in this POCL for my team Solrock Rovers. I've gotten to top 10 of the ladder when trying out teams, although I generally dislike laddering. I had a good time teaching last round and I would like to do it again!

    Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi UU
    About me: I've been playing Wifi UU for over a year now. I've peaked 1450+ on the ladder before with many different teams and I consider myself to be very knowledgeable about the current metagame. Outside of UU, I also lead Mafia Tutoring and have had past experiences teaching people how to play Mafia. I am generally pretty good with people and I can explain things clearly to them.

    Tiers you wish to teach: Ubers
    About me: Laddered to 4th and 6th on DW Uber and Uber ladders respectively during BW1. Nowadays just can't find the motivation to ladder as it is too tedious. Achieved a record of 4-4 last POCL and I am currently 3-0 this POCL. I know Ubers pretty well as I have tinkered with pretty much every viable mon. Oh yeh and I do Uber QC.

    Tiers you wish to teach: HGSS OU, Wifi OU
    About me: I have peaked #1 in both of these tiers. I have played HGSS OU since late 2007, so I guess that's 5.5 years now. Peaked #1 on Shoddy [when it mattered], and on Pokemon-Online multiple times. I started at HGSS OU in POWC for US Central. I was the HGSS OU Gym Leader, my record was decent I guess. For Wifi OU, I have peaked rankings over 1600, I did well in Smogon WCOP, which is all OU. I have voted in the Keldeo and Landorus suspect votes if that means anything.

    Tiers you wish to teach: BW2 NU
    About me: I am a really sweet guy! For some reason I'm the NU Tier Leader so I guess that's pretty dope, I've been playing NU competitively for a while and I've done pretty well in past tours. And I can actually teach you how to build without Houndoom/Sawk so I guess that's a plus. I guarantee you the other NU tutors are garbage and I'm 100% better because all the tutees who actually show up say I'm da bess.
