What do you want? An excellent free introductory site: 321go.org For when you get a bit stronger: there are cheap audio lessons ($1/lesson) at audiogolessons.com Many strong amateurs and professionals also offer private and group lessons. Hourly rates greatly vary, and this might not be what you're looking for. Or: just post a (serious) game here and get feedback! |

Dear tarmes What is you level? What is your aim? Would you like human interaction? (or just replaying games, solving problems online -> http://www.goproblems.com) |

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I think I'm really looking for one to one tuition where I get to play with someone who'll help me improve my game by clearing explaining my mistakes, as well as showing me new techniques etc. I currently spend a lot of time reading various beginners books such as "Attack and Defense", and they do help, but there's nothing like the interaction you get from a real person while you're actually playing. Now, not all good players are good teachers, so I'm looking for advice on reputable teachers, courses etc. I don't want to break the bank either - I just play for fun after all... Tim |

Guo Juan's classes are great. The group class involves weekly reviews of your games (and classmate's games of a similar level). |

Guo Juan is an excellent teacher, I've always enjoyed lessons from her! If you want a cheaper option, I can recommend a friend of mine, who goes by the nickname freegame on KGS (and here as well). IMO, he's a good teacher for kyu players and his prices a very cheap (basically he only charges to make sure the students are serious and he's not wasting his time) http://www.freegameteaching.co.uk/ |

At your level, I'm sure you can get 1 to 1 teaching for free, and there are quite a few good teachers on KGS who don't charge for sdks. If you are looking to spent a little bit of money for some guaranteed quality teaching, I have a few recommendations. If you want something good, but budget, I'd recommend Guo Juan if you're looking for a professional. Not expensive, and I think her advice is quite solid and informative. If you're looking for a cheap strong amateur, I'd recommend our very own L19 champion, Tabemasu. I believe his rates are of the cheapest around compared to players of similar strength, plus he's a native English speaker, and a pretty good teacher. |

Yilun Yang is another good pro to take lessons from. While not a pro, Yuan Zhou is quite strong (former insei) and also gives lessons on KGS. |
