coach

Well done lichess. Thanks for the coach feature! I will be getting one.

Oh @achja would you do coaching for 15 euro an hour?

Hi chessanalyst, I'm too busy with paid and volunteer compu stuff work, and playing and studying chess.

I do "random" coaching for free in my chess study group (See my Lichess profile page). You may donate for that if you wish, see my chess blog site.

And feel free to PM me for details.
Interesting! lichess is breaking its pattern with everything for free, beginning selling coaching services.
May I ask, what exactly do people expect from a coach? What do you think you can't do yourself with the help of books, databases, engine?
I sometimes work as a coach myself, when people ask me for it, but I'm not really sure that everybody needs a coach to improve.
Since someone here never seems to waste an opportunity to troll, here's an explanation:

Of course, chess lessons cost money.
In regards to lichess, however, the coach feature is entirely free. Indeed, we do not take a commission on lessons or anything.
In fact, lichess does not handle any coach payment; it's left at the discretion of the student and teacher. We merely give (for free) a page for teachers to tell about themselves.
Just an observation. I wish nothing.

I've no experience of coaches. Besides of books, databases and engine I think you learn a lot from playing.
