Need softies around west area aid

[Hito]

hey!
i am beginner to guitar, played it for around 3months.
i had tried to restring my guitar once and it works well but the coil is just too ugly.

On my 2nd try, which is today, i just bought a set of overprice strings at causeway point since i am there for dinner and tried to restring again.
This time round, it is disaster! i snapped 3 strings while tunning with my lousy tuner. On top of that, i did not "coiled" the strings tt nicely.

So i am here to request if any softies living around the west area able to teach me how to restring my electric guitar correctly plus tunning it in the correct way for me?

I live at bukit batok, i'm willing to travel to your area nearest mrt station.
thanks for the help!
*Preferbly next week as my school reopen the week after next and i cant stop thinking of playing my guitar asap


disclaimer* my string snapped because i did not know if the octave is correct or not so i go tighter and tighter =x

THANKS FOR ALL SOFTIES HELP!
THREAD CLOSED!

Dude,try getting a fast winder or even those run on electricity,push a button and it'll wind the string for you.Ask at any guitar shop,they should sell it.It'll coil your strings around the nut quite nicely.And if you really cannot get it done,send me a message and i'll try to help out,though i'm not that great a re-stringer too,but i'll try my best if needed.

thanks guys for your reply, regarding the youtube video, i ahve watch some and learned those technique, i can get it right sometiems but not consistent as the video alone can't answer my questions, so ya.
Plus my problem is also regarding tuning as the "string tightness" is right for the note

when you get a new electric guitar, ask the person to help u change then you watch him/her change.

maybe a chromatic tuner would help since the problem is you break the strings by over-tightening?
