Chess Mentor is the name for the online lessons offered by Chess.com. They sell access to those lessons but do offer free access to a group of the lessons for beginners.

Unless you are offering to sponsor free diamond memberships, you should delete your post.

Hello, I would like some lessons. I have been having large numbers of head-scratching blunders per game and have fell to below 650 in Blitz.

Why ask here? Why not try the tab called "Lessons"? https://www.chess.com/lessons

having someone to actively discuss chess is more helpful because you can go over abstract topics not in the available lessons on chess.com

Yes, private lessons from qualified coaches are very nice. Most of us can't afford them.  People who have taken the trouble to invest thousands of hours of their time to learn chess don't usually want to spend all their remaining free time explaining "en passant" for free or showing you the blunders in your latest game.

That's why online learning courses , like the ones offered here, are effective low cost learning tools for beginners. If you have a few dollars more, you can get access to a wealth of online learning tools, including videos and a lot more of the online lesson content and tactics trainers.

But if you have the $$, by all means, hire a master or expert level tutor. They offer access to leading grandmasters here in Chess.com University.

/ Coaches are supposed to register with Chess.com, which will verify their bona fides.

With all due respect to the OP, I would have to wonder about his 956 blitz rating here and whether or not a beginner would be better off learning from the free courses offered here.

I'd be interested in some free coaching. I'm a pretty terrible player trying to improve and talking to someone better than me would be fun/insightful.
