I would love to have somebody better mentor me, and I would also be willing to mentor somebody not as high. Please get back to me and let me know, I'm online at some point every day, usual at a few times, and usually for 1-3 hours at a time. Thanks!!
Hi all. I recently started up a group call Teaching to Learn, with the goal of creating a group which helps organize a one on one mentoring system. Here is the description and link:
This group was created with the purpose of using individuals' passion for chess to allow us all to improve. Teaching to Learn will be a relatively small group dedicated to providing 1 on 1 mentoring. The group will be invite only, but anyone can request membership, just make sure you include a personal message expressing your personal interest in the group. “By learning you will teach, by teaching you will learn.” Latin Proverb

As of now we have 2 mentors (the two group admins) and 2 students. Obviously we will need more of both to grow the group, so if you are interested in joining let me know. I may be willing to accept a few more students (and I guess put them on a "waiting list"), but we really need more willing mentors first. No specific rating range, we will just do our best to match up higher rated, more experienced players with lower rated, less experienced players. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please share them. Thanks!
