We charge a reasonable hourly rate. Coaching is a lot cheaper than hit-or-miss practice sessions online. Many of our students report that they burn through quite a bit of money playing, before coming to us for some expert coaching assistance. Other players just starting out correctly perceive that getting expert advice early is similar to getting golf lessons before playing the game. Experienced or otherwise, our coaching will have you enjoying the game more, as you learn to think like a champion. As the saying goes, "if you think education is expensive, try ignorance." No where does this rule apply more directly than in the game of poker.
I work during the day and play nights and weekends, is that a problem?

I'm already really good at poker, and have little if anything to learn. Why do I care about coaching?

If you know it all, you are done learning. Your opponents are not. With a more realistic attitude about studying the game, your opponents are using every tool available. They are getting coached, and they plan on beating you. And they will. They will do this by using a good coach with a great track record to observe play, plug leaks, and constantly improve.
Consider this quote from poker icon Linda Johnson of the World Poker Tour: "Coached players definitely have an advantage over others that are not coached. Coaching is a tool of the game, and the player who utilizes all the tools available to him (books, videos, software, coaches, etc) will gain an edge." (source: The Interview with Linda Johnson) Coaching is a tool for players at all levels. Here is a recent email from a well-developed player who wants coaching to up his game further. Note his desire to continue to improve: "...I consider myself an above average player who has a lot to learn about serious tournament play, but is in the top part of the learning curve. My expectation for a coach would be to quickly confirm or disprove this assumption. If this assumption is true then I need someone to identify specific areas where my strategy is flawed, and provide specific alternatives. I am able to identify mistakes when I make them, and contrive my own strategy. I would expect a coach to identify mistakes that I am making that I do not see and provide a solution for the mistake." We like this kind of student. Note the confident yet honest self-assessment of this player. Well developed players may get the MOST from a poker coach, because they understand immediately the complex concepts the coach is teaching. Our coaches love students like this because they are ready to get the most from what the coach has to offer.
We also accept novice players as students. A new student will often need to first develop understanding of standard poker situations. Experienced players have this understanding of poker concepts. If you have quite a bit of experience and suspect you could rapidly improve with the right expert poker coach, you are correct.
