Guided Subscription Plan?

From the subscription plans page:

The Guided Subscription offers the learner personalized support. In addition to full Premium site access, learners have access to a personal teacher, who will assess their goals and needs, and prepare monthly study plans from our extensive archive. The teacher will answer questions posted in the Counseling tab, and at the end of the month the teacher will prepare a personalized test to assess the learners progress, and plan the next month's study.

Would someone (either CPod or a user with this plan) please describe:

...and prepare monthly study plans from our extensive archive.

Does "extensive archive" mean lessons from the lesson archive, or is it an actual written plan?  If it's the latter, what does the plan entail?

I'm curious about the guided subscription...just need more info. to make a decision.

Thanks!

Well I have already upgraded to guided.. still waiting on a message from my teacher. Hopefully this is because they plan on contacting me while I am at home, which would not be for another 5 hours or so because it would be useless to try and do it while I am at work. :)

I am assuming the guide/teacher will analyse my current ability and then work out a study plan for me based on that and the plan will involve certain key lessons on that already exist on cPOD. At least this is my understanding of it. John and clay have replied to my own questions about this in another conversation back on the new site's launch day.
