Finding a chess coach from 0$ to 5$
Sort:
I am a young chess player with an elo of 2000 rapid and 1900 blitz. I'm also 1770 fide blitz and 1650 classical (I got em when I was 1200). I'm looking for a coach to help me increase my fide and become the national champ in my country. The reason that it's between 0-5$ is because of the country I live in and my age.

Looks like you must already be close to the highest rated player in Belize .
I'm not actually from Belize
You already have a strong foundation, especially with your online and FIDE experience at such a young age. Improving further usually comes from consistent guidance, focused training, and regular game feedback. Budget constraints are completely understandable — what matters most is finding the right direction and support.

After checking the prices per hour, It seems like I can't join chess gaja. 35/hr js stoo
35/hr is a bit too much*
Start at $5 an hour then negotiate them down to $1.75 an hour
I doubt you'll find anyone below 15$, or even 20$. Below the effort is just not worth it.
Might not be individual coaching, but a good chess book contains hundreds of hours of GM lessons, basically for free.
Jenium ngl you make a good point
But like what youtubers/websites do I look for

I got 25$ lessons that are about 7 hours long. But to be honest, you are already strong. Just improve your openings and blunders.
