Hello, would you be interested in a chess teacher? If yes, I know a very good one for you. He is international master, professional chess trainer in D4 openings for white and Caro - Kann for black. In addition he can teach you in the rook- and pawn endings. He has a special offer for you: 20 euro for 1,5 hour. If you would like to be better in chess, don't miss this oppurtunity! (Write me a message to get more information)
Have a wonderful day! ^_^
this is not defently the place for advertising that
It's great that this IM you know offers coaching services, but he should go through the standard route of becoming certified on Lichess. He may send his application to contact@lichess.org and if they accept (which is likely as he is an IM and has proven his skill), he will be an available option on this page.
lichess.org/coachNaturally he is on the coach list in Lichess, but nobody write him to get lessons, so this is why I spread the word, because I would like to help him.
If he were any good, you would share his name without the need for a PM. Don't trust anyone who refuses to reveal a listed name.
@jonesmh I think he means well. He has to be 'good' if he gained his IM title and was given the status by Lichess. Nevertheless, I'd like to see this offer of his shared by him.
@Sssamatppap I think I know who it is at this point, but aren't his lessons only in Russian and Ukrainian? Is the reason you posted this because you are filling in for the language barrier?
Well, he speak english and italian. He found me to support him, because (as I wrote) there are no students. You know you can find many coaches over there and this is why hard to find students. He is really good, just not so popular as others. Well, if I find people, I get free lessons from him for my work. That is all. (I will send you his profile, but you must write me in private, because the coach would like to know that I found you.)
Okay, so it wasn't the person I thought it might be. One tactic I have seen a coach doing is running simuls to attract students. He shows off his style to the students with live play and is very friendly with them. I'm looking at his profile now and he looks to be quite good. He'll just need to market himself. I'm sure he's glad to have a friend like you that cares to help.
@NefariousKnight : I'm not talking about a good chess player, but a good teacher--there's a big difference. Also I'm saying that if this is an honest attempt, there should be no problem with giving his name--or even better, he come and advertise himself.
I think I know who this is. Ironically, I messaged him on lichess about coaching ages ago, but received no reply. I've found an excellent coach in the meantime.
