I get asked "hey iaguz do you coach?" a lot. I usually don't since time spent coaching could be spent playing/studying starcraft but seeing as the next month is pretty quiet, I might give it a go again. After all, I do like money, and coaching is easy.
So how does this work?
WHAT YOU NEED
* Specific problems. Basically don't just say "oh I want to be better" or "my mechanics suck", I need some indepth stuff I can tear into. Replays are helpful in this respect.
* Money. 25 bucks an hour, Australian
* Someone of roughly equal skill to play against. This one is sort of optional but being able to yell stuff at you whilst you're trying to play can be helpful.
WHAT YOU GOTTA DO IF ALL THIS SOUNDS GOOD
* just PM me or email me at ezugai@gmail.com and the date/time you want. I'll respond quickly enough.
WHAT YOU GET
* Knowledge!
If you want I can stream the coaching session. Again, optional. I think twitch saves previous broadcasts or something though? Not sure about that one actually.

I am not looking for coaching but just trying to get some more info out of your post for the potential coachees.
How is the coaching time divided?
Do you review the replays before the coaching and then go over what went wrong/right during the coaching hour(s)?
Do you review the replays during the coaching time?
If no similar level opponent is provided by the coachee do you ask stream viewers to jump in as the build test monkey
Do you provide your own replay packs for study? An overview document of what transpired during the coaching? (similar to PiG's coaching I think)?
Do you only coach Terrans? What if a Zerg or P want to learn ZvT, PvT?
I'll give replays a quick look before the session and focus on a few key issues.
Stream viewer, SC2SEA chatbox volunteer, sure. It's generally easier if you can find your own though.
Coaching time isn't really divided because there's no set structure for how this'll work. You give me an indication of where you're at concerning a matchup or other issues and I'll try and help you fix it.
I don't do replay packs. If you want to watch a good terran player there's loads of Koreans you can watch. But that doesn't help you with your problems, does it?
I haven't considered doing an overview document like what you say pig does. it seems interesting. Perhaps I'll ask him about it.
I only coach Terran. I don't know the other races indepth enough to be worth anything.
