Well do you ?
Well here is your chance.
If you've experience in photography of any field, be it specific or generalist; be you a working professional, an amateur or retired pro; film or digital (or both). Regardless of your background if you've got the knowhow and the willingness to teach and help others you might well want to check out the Mentor Scheme here on the forums.
http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/beyond-basics/125099-official-mentors-bio-list.html
This is a totally free scheme which runs with the intent of linking up those who wish to teach with those who wish to learn on the forums. As you can see from the thread linked above there are already a number of active mentors, but we are always after more willing to teach those who want to learn in a more focused and smaller one to one environment (online of course).
If you want to take part as one offering to teach all you have to do is send me a private message with details of a bio to describe yourself, your photography experiences, your portfolio and what you are willing to offer students. You can see the examples in the thread above for a more structured guideline on what is expected.
Remember we don't expect you to take on infinite students, each mentor is free to set their own limits and once your limit is reached a quick pm to myself and your advert in the bio thread will be hidden from view until such time as you have a free slot (and of course wish to return to offering your help).
If you want to take part as a student all you have to do is visit the above thread and read through the mentor bios - then send a pm with your request to the mentor in question (each mentor has a link to their profile just under their name on their post in the linked thread). Do take care to give as much info you can upfront as so the mentor can get as clear a picture of yourself as possible. Remember its their choice if they wish to give you any mentoring help.
I would also say that whilst the scheme itself aims to hook up interested parties together it is greatly encouraged that the forums be a part of the process as well. Whilst you might be focusing your critique and advice upon another, do try to bring it forum side as well. Have them use the galleries to show their work and then give your advice there. This way not only do the students benefit, but others also have a chance to gain from the increased interaction and more in-depth discussions.
