Is there a hobby or activity that you’re really good at, or where you’ve been given some particularly useful advice? As part of our New Year coverage, the Guardian is trying to help people improve at something they know and love, whether it’s a favourite sport, a foreign language, or … almost anything.

Perhaps you have a trick or two that enabled you to run farther and faster than you could before, that turned your photographs from snapshots to works of art, or even that kept your relationship intact while others were cracking up all around you? Please pass them on.
