Sub 8 3x3 solver willing to coach someone for free

Yeah, just submit a video
i'm glad you're still doing this, I average around 21 flat to 22.5 seconds, and I'm not sure how to improve. Specifically F2L, my LL recog is pretty good and cross building isn't too bad, but according to my use of the QiYi Smartcube, I consistently get 70+ percent of solve time being for f2l (65-75%) when it should be closer to 55%. Trying to improve might take a while, so I've just put it off. Can I get help with this?

Are you dual cn, and take a look at reconstructions?

Definitely post some videos/reconstructions. Maybe not in this thread, but people will definitely help with solve critiques.

Post some solves in this thread, and I can critique them after I finish the critiques of the other people who have submitted. Make sure that you only do White/Yellow crosses for the video though
 
@gsingh An interesting thought I have had recently, would it be beneficial if we figured out which top solver our solving style is similar to? Then watch solves and look at reconstructions of their solves to get a better understanding of what our turning and solving could look like at the highest level. Would that help, or does it not have much place here?
 
I could not record my solves at home because busy with stuff (school) so recons are not complete also i will complete them before this Saturday
