OMG
800 hopeless players came in!
If you haven't improved to 1700 level from scratch in 1-1,5 years that's bad. LOL
People become GMs at 12! Guys, what are you even talking about? 1700 on chess.com? It's an absolutely NOTHING level!
And how old are you? Let me guess 40.

Anyone can teach chess to players substantially below their rating.
I'm only 1600 USCF but I can totally teach raw beginners not to move their queen 5 times in the first 6 moves or stuff like that.

I feel like a good rule of thumb for coaching is that your students should be at the max 4-600 points lower than you for you to be able to teach them. A less than 400 point difference and the session becomes more like training and less like teaching, as the student cannot learn as much new stuff anymore. Of course this gap thins out as players become stronger (a 2200 would likely take lessons from a 2400 coach).

Are you still open to teaching people? I need help as well, but I can't voice chat on Discord.

In general, this is true. However, I think someone who knows a lot about a certain subject can still teach that to other players regardless of rating. For example, I don't know the Lucena and Philidor positions. I would be happy to learn them from a 1400 player who has them down cold, even if he is a far worse player than me. Of course, the teacher has to thoroughly know the subject matter.

Those are also the sorts of things that one can learn on their own with free resources. Unless you're having trouble with those, that is.

Sure, but some people benefit from having someone else show how something works, rather than reading an internet tutorital.
I would, but I don't have access to discord currently, would it work for you to do it purely through Chess.com? I'm a 1450 currently in both rapid and blitz, and I'd be interested in learning opening principles and learning the various Indian Games.

And what you can teach being a 1700 at rapid and 17 y old? How to move the knight? LOL
He can start off with teaching you a lot such as not being a a-hole and to show at least any respect to a 17 year old kid doing a service for free and has better things to do like college (teaching that to you would be very difficult though). Also you cant be talking because you are only 2200 and he is 17 in college and is 1700 and you are probably a grown man that has nothing better to do then grind chess in your mom's basement.
