Requirements to coach low rated players

I wonder what are the requirements to teach chess to low rated player? Let's say max 1500-1600 Lichess ELO. I know many people think you must have a rating higher than 2200 or being titled, but here's my view: to teach really low rated player you don't have to be super expert. As many major students get paid to teach school subjects to younger despite not being professionists, you should be able to repeat such dynamics in chess.
Of course I am not talking about high payment (maximum 10/15 euros per hour), neither I'm talking about professional chess coaching level!

Let's not consider for a moment the teaching-skills (a higher rated player isn't always the better teacher) and the online resources (again, school students have plenty of material, but still they request personal tutoring).
What's your thought on the subject? What's the requirement to be able to teach lower rated players?

Why is it that people who have just started out themselves want to teach others? I have never understood this.
@MrPushwood I don't understand what you mean
I never talked about beginners... And I'm not interested in starting teaching if that's what you mean

When do you think someone's ready to teach chess?
@jumbone
No criteria. A higher experienced player (relatively) to the player learning chess can always teach without any requirement. Like a 1500 rated player can teach a beginner!

If a person wants to have a teacher to explain something, and you are not going to consider the teaching skills, and not going to consider resources, then it seems to me the requirements for that teacher are that they know whatever the person wants to know. Under the conditions you specified, the teacher does not even need to be higher rated. For example, there have been cases where GMs have not know all the castling rules, and had to get an arbiter to explain the rules. The arbiter did not have to be higher rated to explain the rules.

I think the question has to include that the person has several goals for knowledge he wants from some teacher, and then asking how likely it will be that a person that is rated x points higher than they are will have that knowledge. And here, I'm still trying to stick to your restrictions that we don't consider teaching skills or resources. I think the answer depends on what the persons goals are. There is a lot of chess knowledge that can be goals, and very likely that a 1500 Elo player does not know much of that, and also does not even know what they do not know.

Now, removing your restrictions, if I want to find a teacher for anything, then I definitely want to know that they have the knowledge I'm after *and* that they can present it in some way I can understand. Being an expert in some subject matter, or some task, does not imply that a person can teach it. So I'd look for reliable testimonials of that expert with respect to their teaching.

It is more for the benefit of the teacher than the teachee.

It is the duck method of learning. By speaking out your thoughts loud, you see them better. Ideally you'd speak to your favourite mascot, alone, and not trouble other people, but it works better sometimes when the mascot speaks back.
and has critical as well as rational thinking and can make that understood. That is a good coach mechanism.

Well, whenever I jump into something that's really complicated, the first thing I'm thinking is definitely not: "Hey, I gotta go out now and teach this stuff!"
