What will you teach your customer?
My expertise as a tutor lies primarily in the area of leadership. As a leader one must know the ins and outs of every map, strategy and counter available to his team. As best put by Jamaican bobsled coach, Irving Blitzer:
You see Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone. He's the first to show up, and the last to leave. When his buddies are all out drinking beer, he's up in his room studying pictures of turns. You see, a driver must remain focused one hundred percent at all times. Not only is he responsible for knowing every inch of every course he races, he's also responsible for the lives of the other men in the sled.
A good captain may have the respect of every member on his team, but a great captain will also have their trust. I will attempt to cover basic attitude principles as a sports coach would relay to the quarterback throughout the season, to teach problem-solving methods for team conflicts (which any experienced team knows is unavoidable) along with general in-game positioning and secrets of the art.
My mentees will learn:
1. Individual positioning and being a team player.
2. How to communicate effectively with your teammates.
3. Team pushing and defending.
4. Extensive coverage of all league maps.
5. Ways to improve accuracy and presence.
6. Hardware and Software fixes to maximize performance.
7. My personal methods for how to use your time wisely during practice.
Bonus Content: Just because you're a gamer doesn't mean you have to be a nerd.
What makes you a good tutor?
If my tropical location doesn't turn heads, then my get-your-moneys-worth, bootcamp etiquette will. I am by no means a "casual" player, and will guarantee a better, more confident player by the end of a single lesson. I have experience with tutoring in Physics, Deductive Logic and Vocal Lessons outside my gaming experience and am familiar with the commonalities that students share.
