Helping beginners badge or role

Training mode is a good way to practice a game, but even if you've read the rules it can be daunting to start a game you've never played before. Does anybody else think it would be good to have a pool of players for each game willing to train people through their first game or two? That way people could more easily find the courage to try a new game.

depending which game you are trying to do.

For me: I know a lot on those games (except maybe connect four that it's really easy to understand):

RMGT
Saboteur
Metromania (unpopular game)
And maybe few others too

Good news: this already exists! Well it's for all games, not for each game, but you can ask for the game(s) you want to learn.
You can join the Game Tutors group, and then ask for someone to play with you, either with the blue Discuss button (instant chat), or by posting a message in the Recent activity section. (You can say if you'd like a live game or a turn-based game.)
