Hi,

I am offering a new an exciting service. The first Go Teacher review service!

Go Teachers or Prospective Students can both contact me to avail of this service.
Prices are as follows: Regular lesson price of teacher + 10% cut, with additional 10 euro charge for publishing the review. Additional special goodwill payments accepted

I have taken Go lessons with many teachers, in addition to which I have over 15 years of experience in the public education system. This leaves me very well placed to assess the teaching skills of whoever is paying me.

Love,
Javaness

my demonstrated lack of progress under any of them

Forgetting about boring parody for a moment and ignoring the principle possibility that you might have already hit the boundary of your upper potential, typically pupils taking lessons do not make progress if they do not also a) apply advice, b) play regularly, c) review their own games, d) study go theory in literature and e) solve problems. Most pupils doing all of that improve quickly.

Yes! So what then are the qualities of a good teacher?

Could you post your rank graph?

Potential issues:

1. One lesson (if that's the plan) is not sufficient to evaluate a teacher, especially not for one-on-one instruction.
2. People learn differently - each teacher has their own style.
3. Teachers may have comparative advantages over difference student strength ranges.

I have already thought of these problems. By paying me to take multiple lessons with the same professional, you can overcome any such fears.
I can also cope with 3, by thinking for shorter periods of time, and distracting myself during the game.
