Hmm. Interesting concept, but I'm a little concerned because the terms for the teacher/Skillgrind relationship are not stated openly that I can find. (I admit, I may be lazy in looking, but it isn't easily accessible from the frontpage or teacher page.)
So the question then becomes - what does the structure of the relationship look like? How's the business backend of things, with regards to 1099s and the like - what jurisdiction are the legalities under? It might allow someone to be a teacher in a more professional seeming way than random paypal transactions from Blizz chats, but I would be interested in learning about the business model and practices in place before doing something there. (And I'm gold, so the core content of my class to anyone under my league can be summed up in "macro, Macro, MACRO!")

But if everything is on the up and up and legit, it could be a useful site for people that have skills to share but can't rely on advertising and site visits for income (like, for example, most of the other similar sites I can think of).

Concept is nice. But the quality of lessons is important or ur website becomes an own3d. If peeps really want to pay to learn sc2, then 20 bucks looks a better investment for qxc than 10 bucks for a maybe a good lesson! Better be having some assesments now and then to garantuee quality.

On topic : If anyone has probs with girls i can give u advice, if u want discount i do groups too!

While such a website would definitely be useful post-HotS with the new replay features, currently it's competing against the (free) likes of an incredibly large number of tutorials available on Youtube and here. The timing is off.

That and it causes my computer to crash through overflow... charming.

Its better to spend such an amount of money to buy GSL subscriptions.
If you are <diamond, your macro sucks
If you are >diamond, those teachers cant teach you anything a GSL video couldnt do better (builds, timings, supply benchmarks, approaching a Bo3)
