Hello all,
I'm looking for a teacher that can help me in my electronics quest.
I am audio oriented and need help with the following subjects:
1) Reading schematics
2) Understanding the criteria behind components selection
3) Implementing topics of my particular interest
My experience includes: building clones and audio electronics repair
I am currently studying on my own so my knowledge in a bit unstructured. My background is in software engineering and I have no formal training as an electronic engineering.
Audio oriented = Guitar amps, Guitar pedal effects, studio equalizer, compressor, pre amps
* I have a fully equipped and operational lab
located in Israel GMT+3, fluent English.
Thank you
Tom

Hi Tomer. There is an excellent text book called "The art of electronics". See if you can find a copy of it. You will not regret the time you spend reading it. There are a lot of practical circuits you can try out as well.
I'm not offering to be a tutor, I just wanted to point you in a direction so that you can teach yourself as much as possible.

Hi
Thank you for the replay
I actually debated between "The art of electronics" and "practical Electronics for inventors". in the end i chose the "Practical ...".
Are you familiar with that one ? if yes do you still think i should get the "The art of electronics" ?
Thank you
Tom

While you are looking, you might want to look through this list:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/other-blog-specific/a/msg1341170/#msg1341170 (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/other-blog-specific/a/msg1341170/#msg1341170)
I can also recommend (and add to my list) - Tron Club - http://tronclub.com/ (http://tronclub.com/)
Everything about them is crappy except their material. I got their Advance course (which was on the Tiny MCU) and was only 3 or 4 courses. The biggest surprise was the quality of the written material. I think they must have paid for a professional writer. Very very good
So for $25 a month (or whatever) you can get all you need and can stop anytime. I have no relationship with them and they have not made any improvements that I have suggested. You get a code with the parts that you use to get the online material which is not easy. So if you can get through the hoops (it was hard for me because of my mental condition), I think they would fit your requirements.
The courses are supported by their members.
Good luck

Wow that looks very interesting.
Thank you for thinking about that for me!

I personally found the US Navy's NEETS training course really useful, it's in the recommended reading section of the Beginner's forum, first couple of pages somewhere I think. The Navy spent a lot of effort in making sure the explanations are practically rooted, and aimed at the Everyman/Anyman who might join the Navy and show an aptitude for technical things rather than just the college grad. As someone who only ever visited colleges to sneak into girls' dorm-rooms or crash parties, this was extremely helpful >:D

NEETS is highly regarded. It was what I cut my teeth on in the Navy.
