EPTHey guys! I'm hitting a spot in my calendar (which will end on the 1st of oct) during most of this time I am available to do some free coaching , might switch to payed in 1-2 weeks also , will see (if i will rates will never be more expensive than like 5-10 eur/hr) . My skill level is top master/mid gm and my ladder rank would be just that if it weren't for my ladder lazyness (atm i'm like rank ~20-30 master)
I'm not going make a 10 page topic over here, and atm I will only coach while being laid back in my playing. So, I will not accept master P due to the fact that it just takes more time and is more technical. If you've hit master and still need help, just watch replays of players beating what you have trouble with and you should be fine.
Currently am coaching ppl for 6-9 hours a day. My free time starts today so if anyone is up for it I can start coaching immediately. If you are interested, reply to this topic (so that it stays on top so other people can see it
) and send me a PM with your Skype + in game details so I can contact you.Coaching Info: I've coached for over 100 hours in total (payed and free sessions ) and have NEVER had anyone be unhappy with/not understand my coaching. There has always been progress (but of course it heavily depends on how much time you have to play the game and such).
I would also like to ask that people who ask for this coaching be serious about improving and are willing to play a good amount. (people who play something like 1hr/2 days and such should not contact me) This is so we don't waste each other's time.
Thank you very much and I'll see you guys soon! ;]User feedback :

This guy is a a fantastic coach! I've watched a lot of streams--including pros who stream their lessons--and I can guarantee you that this guy is better than pretty much anyone else out there.
1) He tailors each lesson to you. The problem I see with most "coaches" is that they throw out general advice "yeah, so your macro sucks so work on that then you're good…yup." (AND they ask for money) However, Tudor will take a look at your play style and be very specific with his advice. I feel like this type of advice giving is the most important and yet the most lacking in coaches, and I was fortunate enough to be able to have struck gold when asking him to coach me.
2) He is a nice person. He will listen to what you have to say, and will ask you what you want to work on before each lesson. He is articulate (his english is good!) and does not have that annoying patronizing tone. Tudor achieves a comfortable balance of nurturing you and pushing you to your limit. Too much of either is not good, and it's nice to know that there is someone out there who will not only make you play better than you ever have, but also not make you feel like utter shit.
3) He is extremely extremely qualified. This guy is good. I don't really know how else to explain how good he is besides repeating over and over that he is good. THIS GUY IS GOOD AT STARCRAFT. HE IS REALLY GOOD. He isn't lying when he says he is high masters/grandmaster. Most other coaches out there that ask for money aren't even close to his skill. To be honest, I don't really know why a guy who is this good at playing and coaching is offering this service for free, but hey, I'm not going to complain.
4) He really cares about his students! I don't know why someone like him would care a lot about a low-leaguer like me, but for some reason he does. During my second lesson, he sent me a replay and told me that when he was playing a ladder game he thought of a build that really fit my play style. He thought about helping me even outside of a lesson! That action really showed that he cared about my improvement and that I wasn't just "another student." Did I ask him to think of a particular build order for me? No. Did he do it anyways? Yes. Is this guy awesome? YES.
If you aren't asking him to coach you, you are silly.

was lucky enough to get a lesson with him first and I can attest to the fact that he is a great coach. I came to him with PvZ issues and he helped me sort them out. Went through some replays and he also sent me some of his own replays for me to learn from....
best of all.. it was free! can't beat it

Just finished an intense pvp session. From being by far my worst matchup im really feeling confident on it already - feel like i understand the matchup better! Went over some of my own replays, some of his, and finally played some test games after the lesson - BIG IMPROVEMENT
Will be making the step up from diamond to masters in no time with RTudorr's help :D

I just finished a session with him and I'd recommend him highly. He has a tremendous understanding of the matchup and a humble no-nonsense delivery of the material. You'll come out of your lesson with concrete actionable ideas about how to improve your play - what else can you ask for?

I just finished a session with him! He is en excellent teacher and asked me question which made me realize I was doing things that didn't make any sense. He explained the purpose behind the decisions he made, provided Replays (which we walked through together) and let me ask questions. He kept checking to make sure I understood and asked everything I needed to know.
I have lots of replays to work through and now I have a better plan. I look forward to being coached again!

If you have problems with your game, you gotta get in touch with Tudor, he can point out what you`re doing wrong and how you can improve your game, illustrating that both in games with you and in replays of you or his. He knows his stuff.

I'm a mid-high diamond player right now and i just did a session with RtudoRR. He was very kind and patient all the way and really helped me with my pvp. I was having problems with getting 4gated and i couldn't hold it easily with 3gate but he thought me some builds and explained the thought process. He points out your mistakes in a good manner, i definitely recommend him.

Just had my first lesson with him, and I have to say I am very impressed.
1) His English is clear, I came into the lesson hoping it wasn't going to be White-Ra. Well, that is a lie, having White-Ra as a coach would be baller.
2) He was 100% up for hearing about what I personally had problems with in my matchups, and found a way of helping me understand HOW to become better with them.
3) He knows his stuff. We went through a few of his replays, and he clearly explained what was going through his mind on every key move he made, and why he did so.
Definitely would recommend look into getting a session with him sometime in the future if you need some help.

Just had a lesson from him a few minutes ago, very informative and very focused on how things look and feel from your end.
Also very open to what your looking for from the coaching.
Give him a shot guys it can only help.

Had a lesson a couple of minutes ago. Very, very good I havent had any other coaches before, but this is precisely what I was hoping for. Very methodical gothrough of the replays, and always pointing on the things I told him was problematic :D
Nice english aswell.
Really nice lesson

I had a coaching session today a few hours earlier (with RTudoRR ^^). It wasn't how I expected it to be, but it was great! xD Unlike the typical coach I've seen who watches the student play, I thought RTudoRR used the hour he had more efficiently (rather than observing a game of mine, whilst basically telling me when to put down pylons and buildings, as I've seen some other notable coaches do). He asked me to pre prepare replays of myself and then we examined replays of mine and his for the rest of the session.
First off we went over a few losses of mine in PvZ and looked at what I had done wrong. I discovered my FFs were bad, and learned how to cast less of them, to give a higher benefit than I had before. I also had problems with over committing to aggression at times. After we covered some of the flaws in my PvZ gameplay (including my weird-ass wall off style, lol), we had a look at some of his own replays. He found replays of him playing styles he thought were similar to mine (2 robo timings off of 3 base) and also a replay of a neat 5 gate all in follow up to a 3 gate expand.
I asked many questions throughout the games, and he answered all of them fully.
After the session was over he gave me a replay pack of him playing PvZ games for me to look over.
He was very friendly and manner, and I really look forward to applying what I learned from him to my game. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew what he was talking about (as you might hope, lol xD), so I hope we can spend time going over my gameplay again in the future.

Got to talk with Tudor on skype today and had a lesson that went pretty good. Talked about some replays i had prepared and he pointed out things i've done wrong and that i could of done that i didn't really get by myself when i watched the replays.
Also he got me some replays of him playing that show some of the stuff we talked about which is pretty good as i'll have something to compare to when i'll try it out.
He's friendly and seems really open to talk to and isnt condescending.
Hopefully i'll do well with the info he's passed on and maybe sometimes i'll be able to get more info like this which aplies to my play and not general play that i find in threads and or vods.
Didnt expect it to go as well as it did since he said his main is protoss(i'm zerg) but its clear when you talk to him that he has a pretty good grasp on the overall game.
Thx again Tudor.

just had my first 1 hour session with RTudoRR. and i have to say: getting to know the thoughtprocess of such a highlevel player was very helpful. I learned a lot on how to approach my enemy and the interesting concept of making him play worse instead of only trying to play to my own maximum.
this coaching offer is definitely recommended!

Just had my first free lesson!! Cool guy, has good knowledge of the game, speaks very good english, took his time going through a replay of mine, then sent me a couple of his own and we watched it together while talking me through his gameplay. So now I'm here with a bunch of "homework"replays to watch, new ideas to practise and looking forward to the next session on friday!!
Thank you very much for taking your time helping!

I had an hour of coaching with him where we went over replays, and it really helped me with PvT. He really helped with my understanding of the matchup while being a really nice guy. Can't wait for the next session!
