Since this is a teacher/student oriented hexing place, a few teachers would help. If you are a decent hexer and would like to offer your services as a teacher to some of the members here, please be sure you meet the majority of the requirements listed here. Once confirmed, you will have to apply yourself and skills into "Lesson Plans". To learn more about requirements and lesson construction, please read further.
Requirements
The requirements listed are enforced to ensure that aspiring hexers get the best teachers possible while they learn to hex. You are not required to meet all listed above, but the vast majority should apply before being elligable as a teacher.
As a Teacher you will:
Students which choose to follow your lessons are allowed to PM you questions, so by being a teacher you must be prepared and ready to answer questions concerning your Lessons. As a teacher, you are responsible to help your followers as best you can.
You also have the choice to be a mentour or be a teacher (or both). A mentour has only one or two hand chosen students whom you PM the lessons to. This means you only have one or two students who you have to worry about. As a teacher, you have a board for your lessons where whoever wants to can join into your lessons and use them to learn. This means you can potentially have many students who will be asking questions and require attention and help.
To Become a Teacher:
