If you think you are qualified to be a tutor, please post a new thread here with the following application as to why you would be a good fit.
Username:
Discord Tag:
Timezone:
Fluent Languages:
Regular Online Hours (in EST):
Tier(s):
References (Please include proof):
Accomplishments in the respective tier (tournament, ladder, or voting success):
This is an opportunity for anyone looking to share their wealth of experience and knowledge of competitive Pokemon to become recognized contributors to Smogon. We are looking for members who are able to teach new and inexperienced players. Individuals looking to be a tutor should be proficient in all of the metagames they apply for. Battling 101 is one of the most important parts of the site because it molds an upcoming generation of players. Being a tutor requires patience and dedication to help their apprentices learn. Tutors that have proven to fulfill their duties with regularity will earn a badge and be upgraded to community member status.

B101 also hosts its very own Tutor Shadowing Program where newly approved Tutors can shadow badged Tutors during their tutoring sessions to directly experience how tutoring takes place. If all you're missing is a small boost of confidence, you're more than welcome to request a tutoring Mentor as part of your application process

Things to note regarding filling this template out:
  • Please don't use joeschmoe123 as a reference and please don't use a user who doesn't play Pokemon as a reference. Use some well-respected players in tournaments or ladders or the metagame forums. We also require mandatory references for certain tiers, as listed in this post.
  • We don't ask for much with accomplishments, but we would prefer to see some participation in official Smogon tournaments (OST, OSDT, SPL, Frontier, Smogon Tour, Grand Slam, WCOP, OLT) and moderate success in these. As far as ladders go, shoot for top 5 or at least top 10 in OU.
  • If you don't see your tier / metagame in the following list, WE AREN'T DOING IT ATM. No RBY LC, no randbats, no Lv. 47 Orange-Pokemon-only ADV. We'll add tiers and metagames as we see fit or when leaders of specific metagames would like to contact us about it.
SV Ubers
SV OU
SV Doubles OU
SV UU
SV LC
SV Monotype
NatDex OU
SM OU
ORAS OU
BW OU
DPP OU
ADV OU
GSC OU
RBY OU

  • Please do something on Smogon before applying. Whether this is playing in tournaments or posting in metagame forums or rating teams, do something on the forums first. Forum integration is part of our evaluation rubric and if you're not familiar with the forums, then it's best not to apply.

Once you have been accepted, we'll give you access to the Tutor sub-forum and add your profile to our grade sheet. Good luck to all who apply!

As many of you are already aware, the tutor application requires you to have a couple of references in order to apply. In the past, some people have slapped references on the application without getting approval of that person, which is completely ridiculous and undermines the entire premise of a reference.

Now, prospective tutors must show legitimate proof that their references have approved of them, whether it is via screenshot or log. If anybody is caught faking evidence, they will receive a heavy infraction.

Please include at least one of these people as your references if you wish to apply as a tutor for the following tiers [Screenshot is highly preferred]:
Jho
Kaede
Kyo
R8
Any current NatDex Tutor as well
