After using CFOP for a whole year, I finally decided to switch to ZZ! I am somewhat inefficient at EO, do you have any tips?

Really, the best option is just to watch example solves. Maybe from GenTheThief or PapaSmurf.
Also, are you using EOLine or EOCross?
 
Cool to see another ZZ user! It's definitely just a case of doing more and more solves until you kinda get the hang of it. If you want to accelarate the process, this is a good drill (from @Yoruba ):
  • Choose a target movecount (let's say, for now, 11 for EOCross - you'll want 9 eventually).
  • Open a session in CSTimer and set input to typing.
  • Do a set number of scrambles (let's say 12) where you inspect (unlimited inspection) and count the number of moves you do for EOCross. Type that number in instead of a time. Then, if you're not lazy, do the rest of the solve slowly but trying to do good solutions.
  • Once you've done the 12 solves, go back and if you have a solve with 14 or more (3 over 11), redo the scramble and try to find a better solution. There is an EOLine tool in CSTimer that should help.
You can do the same thing to improve speed, but instead of movecount, record the time EOCross takes. Alternating days doing this however many times per day will mean that your EOCross will improve quickly. A nice addition at the end is to time the PLL you get on a separate timer so that you're improving your LL too.

Hope this helps!

you mean nine moves is efficient for eoline? i get faster solutions and i thought it was inefficient.
