Would someone teach me, please?

Post by hailthorn011 »

I am looking for a steady teacher. I believe strongly that having one would help me improve immensely. When I was a 15k, I met a 12k that helped me get to 12k really fast. And not since then have I had a teacher like that.

I can't really offer any pay. I don't have a job, but I'm looking for one though. So once I get a job, I'd be willing to negotiate pay then. Of course, until then, my lessons can be shaped around the teacher's availability. But I would rather have someone who I can at least have lessons with once a week.

Until I can offer pay, I can figure out some way to make it worth your time. I have around 50,000 professional games on my computer. And I have a great number of Go books. Mostly in ebook format. So if either of those interest you as payment until I can pay actual cash, then just let me know.

If you're interested, feel free to PM me. I know it's asking a lot since I can't really ascertain payment at the moment, but I would really, really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

(P.S. I wasn't sure where to put a request like this. If it's in the wrong area, feel free to relocate it Admins.)

I can offer games with review semi regularly. I have near total time availability.

That's actually what I'm looking for. It gets really confusing when you learn from multiple people at the same time. Because a 7k might say do this, and then a 1k say it's a bad thing to do.

So it'd be greatly appreciated! All you have to do is tell me when you'd like to do it, because my schedule is pretty much free too.

Heck, one teacher will change their mind the next minute. You don't need to go looking for multiple people to get multiple opinions. :)

True but at least you have better consistency with one person.
