Just finished a session with Ryan and it was actually pretty awesome. Ran me through a few things that I didn't even realize I was aware of, brought in a friend to play against me and observed to notice things while we were playing. First time I have ever really had anyone try to teach me the game rather than just play with me, and I am really satisfied with it.

I am low platinum Protoss at the moment, and obviously 1 hour isn't going to make me the most gosu player ever, but I think in that hour I definitely learned a few things that will help me out on the ladder.

I'll probably be hitting up Ryan for some more time in the future.

Thanks Ryan! Great coach, very helpful and a cool guy as well. Would certainly recommend.

I just finished my lesson with Ryan, and I thought it was really helpful. While I was playing in the practice games, he was able to express his points in a clear, concise manner that didn't feel intrusive to my playing. After the games, he went into more detail about what went wrong during that game, and provided specific examples of how to do it better. He finished the lesson by giving an overall analysis of strengths and weaknesses in my playing, and how to go about improving them. He's very open to questions during the lesson, as well as taking it in a different direction if you feel it would help you more. I would highly recommend him to anyone who feels their play is lacking, or could just benefit from an outside point of view.

Just finished lessons with Ryan really helpful and really good guy. Biggest thing for me was not just the strategies that he covered but really helped me to see the other holes in my game that I need to improve on. Was understanding that I am a gold level player looking to improve aswell. Will be doing future lessons with him for sure.

Thanks and highly recommended

Ryan is very easy to learn from and he gives great advice to help improve your game. With his thorough analysis of replays to help pinpoint your weaknesses and flaws you really get alot out of the information he gives. Sometimes you just need another perspective, another eye to be able to notice where you are going wrong with your strategy or mechanics, and Ryan is great at that. Can recommend anyone that is looking to get some coaching to contact him.

I am a gold (although hopefully diamond soon) Protoss player. I just had a lesson with Ryan and I must say I am very pleased. Ryan was incredibly friendly and you can tell that he really wants to help you improve. Setting up a lesson time was also incredibly easy to do; he really makes himself available for coaching. After just one lesson I can already tell that my PvT win ratio will increase drastically in the next few days. I had no idea who many little (and big) things I was consistently missing each game until ryan pointed them out. If you are a protoss player looking for lessons from an incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and easily approachable person I would highly suggest that you get in contact with Ryan.
