Yes, I know there is a "Practice Partner" thread. This is not a thread looking for a practice partner. A lot of people that I've talked to want to coach others for free, yet don't know where or how to start. So I decided to create this thread to give people seeking help and those wanting to give it a place to go. Would be amazing if the admins could leave this open, as I think it can help the SC2 community in a positive way. Yet the structures to post in this thread should be followed as stated below:
State whether your looking to be a Coach or Be Coach.
Makes it easier to navigate through.
Before you PM a coach, Please post in the thread first.
If you liked a coach Write a review on them, if they get enough ill stick them up at the top post for all to see.
Thanks Happy Gaming ~ !

If you're looking to be coach, you have to be proactive about it. Sitting back and saying "ohh boy i'll let the coach contact me", isn't going to find you a coach. Look through the thread and PM one of them and go from there. This should clear up any confusion about this. If you feel that your coach was amazing drop me a PM explain why he is so good and i'll stick him in the Great Coaches section for more to see :}

Ender/Zerg (NA Mid Master Zerg)
Coached : GGYouMake
Submitted by : GGYouMake
So I recently received a TWO HOUR lesson from him. First off he's a nice guy. He is very articulate, and knows how to convey his message well. Everything he says makes sense on what to do, and he explains the thought process and what you should be doing nicely. He was teaching me ZvP and since his one lesson my ZvP has improved by at least half. If you're looking for a zerg coach on NA. Definitely drop him a PM! Also check out his stream http://www.twitch.tv/ender874

Brief description about you: I'm a computer science student @ university. I love the topics we cover during the courses, but I don't see myself working on a regular 9-5 job.
I'd like to improve my game until i can make a living out of it (for now it is still an impossible dream, but I try to work towards this goal).
I think my mechanics are above average (of the EU-diamond league), but I lack some game knowledge/feeling/instinct whatever you call it. Having an experienced player look over my shoulder would greatly be appreciated.
Add me in game for a talk/game/tryout :D
cya all
since I'm of the lurker-type and dont post often, I'd like to take this opportunity to show some love for any TL member ! (appart from the whiners) ! <3

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but coach from a pro gamer if you're below masters is useless. Paying 100 bucks to learn 3 builds you could have learned from a masters and even a diamond player is a waste of money. Yes, you are going to get personal advice from one of the best player in the world, but improving you play (mechanics, macro, micro, all that good stuff) is way more important than learning strategy (thing you can do by reading TL, streams, state of the game, day 9). Kcdc needs coach from a pro gamer to solve his problems with stephano's ZvP build, not some random gold league player. So I support this thread.
TL;DR
Coach from pro gamer is useless because in lower leagues you gotta learn mechanics, not strategy, and a masters~diamond player can help you with that. Plus you can make friends.

this is about free coaching, not paying a pro for an hour ...
I can understand you wanted to make a point, and to some extent I agree with you, but it has NOTHING to do on this thread.
the topic is 5 lines long, and you did'nt even read it before starting to flame :s

DW-unrec, nobody was saying the opposite, that's why I dont understand the aim of your post.
however sorry if my first reaction was a little harsh (now that i look back on it).

looking to be coached

Name.Character Code:jnx.868
Server:NA
Race:Terran
League:Diamond
What you are hoping to achieve:I'm high diamond right now, ranked 1 in my division, getting matched up against masters and winning sometimes. Just need that little extra push. I'm not quite sure what it is holding me back. But I do have issues dealing with colossus/ht and mass ling/infestor. TvT can go either way for me, sometimes all it comes down to is an lucky engagement/bad position. Need some advice on how to cut those down.
Time you're free to learn:evenings PDT or weekends.
Brief description about you: Just an average white collar worker. I love playing starcraft 2 but it gets stressful at times. I try to stream at twitch.tv/jnx868 as often as I can. (sometimes I have to shut down the stream b/c my mouse starts freezing when i have xsplit open.... no idea why this happens..)

Looking for a coach

Name.Character Code: Raufal.542
Server: EU
Race: Zerg
League: Top bronze
What you are hoping to achieve: Hoping to achieve atleast gold and from there just developing my weaknesses, not looking for a coach that will have to spend his whole day teaching, that would be boring for him i would imagine, little baby steps.
Time you're free to learn: from GMT 4pm to 11pm mainly.
Brief description about you: Play starcraft 2 alot, didnt play it for a long time day wise, but i played a lot of games tried all 3 races but only zerg just felt right, im having problems with zvz and lately screwing up in zvt but i win almost all of my zvp games, played about 300 games, i got a good understanding of the game, cant micro, but macro isnt my main problem of staying in bronze, i often overdrone and get supply blocked, mainly in zvz as i know i will lose, when i lose against protoss its from a large switch of units types for example i see a lot of warp gates, so i mass roaches , and soon i see void rays in my main.
