seeking a coach, maybe

Hello

Im thinking I might need a coach to further improve my play and progress.

I have time and am determined to work on and improve. I have invested in courses and put them to work - improving from 400 through to 1208 ( peak rapid last week ) and 1000 ( peak blitz a couple of weeks ago ) . But habitually slump ( now down 1116 and 845 respectively y ). Puzzles up to 2648 and now just above 2300.

Aimchess suggests :
Openings broadly solid through to move 15.black and white,
Tactics and endgame poor - consistanly underperforming here.


I have numerous bad habits - largely based around ( imho ) speed and not calculating correctly/ahead leading to unforced errors and eventual losses.

I play daily rapid and blitz ( having finally kicked the habit of a quick bullet game ). Trying to limit to 3 Rapid and 5 blitz, however i do sabotage myself when on a negative streak and can run 20 games or more into a hole.

I can commit to an hour a week coaching and a couple hours practice a day ( i do this or more now - but not as effectively as i should )

Where would you start with me? What would that need from me ?

Happy to share an my aimchess stats/report if it helps

Thanks
Peter

( maybe, as Im not sure a coach is the right next step - maybe a something else is better until im strong enough to benefit from the skills of a coach. Also, im an adult learner gen X not that the label matters a hoot

I would totally recommend my coach. His name is Joshua Grabinsky. He is a national master who is very skilled and knowledgeable of the game. Send him a message and he will get back to you within the hour. If you’re interested check him out. Profile will be linked below.
