I'm unable to afford to pay money, can anyone take time to coach me for free?
I can coach for free but when I am around only and that is most of the time but occasionally I need sleep/food/ and time away from chess. Best thing to do is schedule times a couple days in advance and I will be around as long as its not 1am.
Sure! , Drop a message and I'll try to help out whenever I can :)
Can I get a free coach then?
Sure. I have the same message to you then.
YOu can send me your games if you want to, preferably your long rated games ( min. 15 plus 15 ), I will analyse it and send it back to you for free.
First, you can do Stockfish computer analysis of your games (online and over the board). If you believe the a game is special (not decided by a simple blunder), you can post it in the forum and players from Lichess community will analyze the for free. Doing that helped me to improve.
The idea of having a chess coach is to improve faster than without one. The coach cannot be with you when you are playing and tell you what moves to make. You have to decide on your moves on your own.
To do that, you have to understand chess. To understand it, you have to spend lots of time studying. There is a lot of material that has to be studied.
Lots of free material can be found for free in google. There are lots of free videos on lichess. Studying all the material will take lots time whether you got it from an expensive coach or you found it for free online.

It is not about studying everything ( if u are average or less talented chess player), a lot of material can be even worse than 1 good book for beginners.
He had played almost 3000 long rated games,so it is not a dedication problem neither.
He needs to find where he is good at and study only that part of the game. I see that his tactics is not Ok, so maybe different approach to a game is needed. Stop thinking how to beat people. Rather ask yourself before each move whether you are not hanging any pawns or something.

Not blundering is most important.
