I think I have improved by being in my group KCM due to experts in my team. They tutor me and I also learn from them through vote chess.
Do you play better when you are part of a team? I'm not certain about myself, but I know that joining a team has usually raised my rating. It happened at one of those other sites that served as a prototype for Chess.com, and joining Chess Association (now closing in on 1000 members) boosted my rating here.
