cubing tutor?

[souljahsu]

is there such thing as a rubik's cube tutor that comes to your house and teach you?

 

[Kirjava]

Sure, how much were you looking at paying?

 

[souljahsu]

not asking for one, just wondering if there's such thing

 

[Kirjava]

I'm sure there is, babe.

 

[Samania]

O___O Comes to your house? Thats pedofish.
Try going to cubemeets and competitions for advice.

 

[souljahsu]

like you know how there's like math tutors, english tutors, etc... that comes to your house and teach you?

lol or you can just look on youtube.

no offence but it sounds kind of pontless because you dont get examined in cubing really whereas you do in math and english etc.

No wonder you don't have a WCA profile...

a competition isn't really an exam though is it?

and thats because i live in Ireland where there are no compsand my parents wont let me go to england for one

There could be one, but I don't see the point. They can't teach you how to look ahead 2x faster and stuff. They can teach you tricks but that won't be even half of what's needed. It's just practice.

+$100

And I thought me charging $15.00 per hour for tutoring calculus was a lot! What a rip off.

You're making it sound waay worse than it really is..its only $50/hour after the first hour:rolleyes::fp

you're definitely better off just sticking with youtube and other online tutorials...

but but but that guy vanderblonk must be a r34l professional and what not.

I wonder how many people have paid

I agree with waffle, there are so many tutorials on youtube that one of them will probably help.

Although, a list of good youtube channels may be what you need over a tutor.

From what I have noticed, no matter who teaches you, in the end you will need to develop the skills to improve yourself. Some observations are PRACTICE and more PRACTICE, finding out where your weaknesses are, and improving upon your execution/efficiency will drop your times. If you can, record yourself and note where you are pausing, making unnecessary moves, or executing an algorithm slowly. I think the worst thing to do is simply practice over and over without any type of plan to improve. Keep in mind that some people will simply have more talent for cubing or any particular activity so don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Talk about an easy job..Rubik's Cube lessons? That'd such a waste of money..Especially with all the youtube videos

 

[souljahsu]

Some of my friends actually wanted me to teach them for about $5/hr. But my average is about a minute...

well that didn't work... How do you put the face palm image in your reply?
edit: now it works!!!
