If think you are qualified to be a tutor, please PM Plus, IronBullet, Leftiez, Jio and Shiba with the following application as to why you think you would be a good fit. If you were previously a tutor on Smogon, you must still PM us, though we will most likely grandfather you in.
This is an opportunity for anyone looking to share their wealth of experience and knowledge of competitive Pokemon to become recognized contributors of Smogon. We are looking for members who able to teach new or inexperienced players. Individuals looking to be a tutor should be proficient in all of the metagames they apply for. Battling 101 is one of the most important parts of the site because it molds an upcoming generation of players. Being a tutor requires patience and dedication to help their apprentices learn. Tutors that have proven to fulfill their duties with regularity will earn a badge and be upgraded to community member status.
Common sense things to note that I will go over anyway regarding filling this template out:
Only approved tutors may post in this thread. Posting here without getting approval is grounds for an infraction, so don't do it. We don't care if you're the Battling Jesus on these forums, everybody goes through the same channels.

- Please don't use joeschmoe123 as a reference and please don't use a user who doesn't play Pokemon as a reference. Use some well respected players in tournaments or ladders or the metagame forums or whatever, but we don't give a shit if your mom can vouch for your pokemon skills.
- I don't ask for much with accomplishments, I'm just asking that there's participation in official smogon tournaments (OST, SPL, Frontier, Tour, Grand Slam, WCOP, OLT) and that there's moderate success in these depending on who you've played. As far as ladders go, shoot for top 5 or at least top 10 in OU.
- If you don't see your tier / metagame listed in any of the posts below, WE AREN'T DOING THEM. No RBY LC, no randbats, no 1v1s, no Lv. 47 Orange-Pokemon-only ADV. I'll add tiers and metagames as I see fit or when leaders of specific metagames would like to contact me about it.
- Please do something on Smogon before applying. Whether this is playing in tournaments or posting in metagame forums or rating teams, do something on the forums first. Forum integration is part of our evaluation rubric and if you don't know anything worth a damn on these forums then it's best not to apply.
