Mystical Tutor

Learning the rules and policy to become a judge can sometimes be a daunting task.  Not all of us are lucky enough to have other judges in our area which only makes it more difficult to train to become a judge.  This website will try to serve as a way to help with that.

We regularly post new lessons which are bite-sized presentations complete with narration.  We understand that people learn in a variety of ways, so we try to have as varied as an approach as possible.

All of us here are very excited about all of this fantastic content and we hope that you’ll join us as we continue to make more.  Hop on over to Lessons to get started.
