    Read the tutor guidelines before submitting an application.

    To submit an application, use the following format:
    Server names: Aliases you often use on the server.
    Tiers you wish to teach: Tiers you feel comfortable teaching.
    About me: A some information about you and why you think you are a good choice as a tutor, and why you want to be one. Good things to list would be ladder peaks, tournament victories (preferable forum tournaments), and other accomplishments. However, feel free to list other "real life" things that might make you more suitable for the position.
    References: A minimum of three members in good standing within the community who can vouch for both your attitude and battling prowess.
    Timezone: In GMT.

    If your application is accepted, I'll edit it saying so. If it's rejected, I will do the same.

    It is recommended that you apply as soon as possible if you are thinking about being a tutor. This allows tutees to see what tiers are available when tutee applications go up in 1 week.

    Deadline is June 18th

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS NU (I could do LU too, but I'd prefer NU)
    About me: NU Tier Leader and Tour Owner; have peaked multiple times on NU ladder, came close to peaking LU and UU as well. I'm a patient and friendly guy, as many people who know me would certainly agree. Also I'm a pretty good student irl and I think I could be a decent tutor. So just trying to help n_n

    Tiers you wish to teach: RBY OU
    About me:
    Got a pretty free-looking summer ahead, should be able to spend some time teaching mons hopefully. Started playing RBY OU during last year's POWC to help teammates test, and picked up the meta and got invovled with the community on the PO server, rby2k10, and pokemon perfect. Solid if unexceptional ~3-3 record in POWC this year (group A was the harder bracket too imo). Have peaked #2 on ladder behind marco, currently sitting at #7 (decay's probably a bit of a factor), although laddering is not a huge focal point of my time (nor has it been since really the introduction of gen 6). Oh I also beat the RBY gym 2-0 (facing vs During Summer)

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS UU
    About me: Nothing rly outstanding to put here, I was made TL last Thursday and I've had decent success on the ladder. I win scripted tours when I bother joining them ayyy. I'm an asshole very nice guy. Being a grad student, I happen to assist a good deal of teachers irl so I guess there's that.

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS Ubers and/or Battle Factory 6v6
    About me: Well, Idk. I just finished my exams at school and I'm pretty much done with school now, so I have a lot of free time, and that time I use chilling in Tournaments channel pretty much the whole day. Nothing much to say about me. And oh, I ladder ORAS Ubers every now and then, I think my ranking atm is 10 or something, and I used to be rank 2 in Battle Factory 6v6, but well, hax got me and I stopped laddering it, but I still play it for fun, since it is.
    References: Oh god why. Well, I guess you could just ask active players in #Tournaments since I spend all my time there, ask an MU or auth there, they should all know me.

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS Ubers/OU/NU/Monotype
    About me: Well, I like to fill myself with knowledge, so knowledge on common cores, speed tier, threats, and overall diversity of viability of metagames is my specialty. These 4 are the ones I happen to know most of. For this current gen. I could teach XY UU/NU and BW2 UU/NU if people really wanted to learn them as those were tiers I also learned quite well. I finished well in both forum Monotype tours, I'm a Side Metas TL, played UU in UUPL and went even, helped with the viability rankings in Ubers, currently in finals of the forum NU tour. Nothing relevant for OU cause in the middle of POCL atm.

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS UU/LU/NU
    About me: I was extremely hesitant to sign up for this at first but I really enjoy helping people out and I feel like I have enough knowledge in these tiers to be able to make a player better in them. Erm, I've peaked the lu ladder before. and was top 3 in UU and NU. I've sporadically helped out users in #tournaments asking for team advice and for when the time is right to make certain plays and teambuilding advice.

    Tiers you wish to teach: ORAS LC, RBY OU, Inverted Battle
    About me: I've been playing LC and RBY since at least early to mid 2012 (BW2 LC at the time), and I have peaked on the LC and RBY ladders multiple times; however, those ladders have seen their share of inactivity. I'm also the current Inverted gym leader for the PO League. I believe that I definitely have enough experience in these tiers to properly introduce them to players who have never played them or haven't played very much. I also have IRL tutoring experience.
