WolFix and Gypsy both offer private coaching if you play Terran. Both very good

Hey, Nemu is willing to help you improve your skills. He's an A/S rank player for a long time and have pretty good understanding of the game. You can find him on twitch -> https://www.twitch.tv/nemubg and send him a message. He is streaming right now.

My lessons are little more eccentric, but have promising results. It involves a totally body make over. Once you have the same hair and can make the same faces Bisu has and Nada's ripped body, then you might be ready to sit down and start playing the game. For now, focus on your physical training and rugged good looks if you want to get to that next level.

Having the drive to want to improve is good but blind coaching for the sake of it probably won't make much difference.

It's like if I give someone a golf lesson. Even if I get them making solid contact and hitting it relatively on target on the range, on the course their club & target selection and overall course management is going to prevent them from seeing any improvement.

You never even stated what area(s) you think you're struggling or need help with. If you're only wanting to have someone in your ear telling you to scout/check for X or start Y building/upgrade then while seemingly helpful, is just going to disengage you mentally and have no long term value.

You need to set specific goals and your best to achieve them, then try to incorporate everything.

If you're just trying to get to a certain rank or MMR then I'd advise this:

• Have a specific build and overall strategy for each Map & Matchup combination.
  
• Know (and understand) the 'normal' timings and supply for your builds
  
• Push yourself to always play as fast as possible, while respecting times when army focus matters the most. (eg. protecting HT in PvZ)
  
• Watch replays of Wins and Losses. You should be able to clearly identify most every point when each player was strong or weak, clear mistakes, and ways to take advantage of situations in the future or areas you need to work on optimization.
  
• Record your gameplay locally and watch it back in first person. OBS, Fraps, any screen recording software will work.
  
• Be humble and accepting that there are going to be people severely better than you at the game. Improvement is about mindset, and playing to win != playing to improve.
  

You're going to run into a lot of smurfs, don't use that as an excuse or let it demotivate you. GL

I think generally speaking I am looking to see how a more experienced player would respond to the situation.

For example, in PvT against 6 fact push. The standard response to check whether the Terran is building 6 factories or starport / 3rd CC. A lot on times players on ladder build a turret ring early and I never get that intel, assumes the opponent is going for 3rd, and die to the push. Through a lot of games I figure an alternative response is to part the observer near the natural and see how often the CC blinks (making SCVs) and roughly deduct the opponent's intention. But it's after a lot of games.
Similar case for PvZ 973, where the opponent blocks the ramp with 2 Zerglings and you don't know whether they are going hydra or lair. I eventually learn to count the drones at 3rd base to get roughly the same intel...etc.

In a lot of the situation, the correct response isn't that obvious. In early days of this game, I die to early pushes a lot. And the response I did was to delay economy and make more defensive units while the correct response is the opposite - build up more economy advantage so you have more to defend the push.

What I generally do with replay analysis is that whenever I lose to a player on ladder, I go to their cwal and download their replay against other protoss (which they lost to), and do a side by side comparison against mine to see what is the differences. In some cases, I often missed some minor details that makes huge differences later on. I also try to mimic exactly what they do in other games but in many cases, the opponent is doing something different so I never get to test the outcome / variations.

In these cases, having a more experienced player that is willing to repeatedly do the same build and variations would help a lot in this try and error method.

Also having a more experienced player explain what they would do under the situation is very helpful. I did post replay on CPL channels a lot, but a lot of the times, I don't get to ask a lot of the follow up question about why would they respond like that.

So I think having a private coach in this case would help this case. At least I am a bit more comfortable to push for more questions / answers in these cases.
