Naturally, it should be equivalent to services rendered. As an amateur player, I would place this value on the lower end of the spectrum, at what we call in the states an 'entry level' position. In the future, as you are still youthful, your skills will increase in accordance to your effort. As this happens, your pay grade should also increase. If you are lucky enough to hit a nationally recognized Mastard standard, then you would be of 'professional' status, and would command an income equivalent to that level. One thing I would look for in chess is to develop your own unique approach to teaching. What dynamic way can you breathe life into your lessons? How you teach is just as important as what you are teaching.

I think your question is coming from your fare and inquizitive mind.  I've had much experince in this area as a coach/instructor and their are two very important concepts to consider.  1st how much  passion will you be bring to the table and what do you think you would be comfortable with salary wise!  Do not sell yourself short, but remember that, "you should enjoy the journey"!

I am 1783 rated on chess .com bullet . Can I start online Chess coaching?

I dont think the rating matters very much, or at all. Like anything else, it all depends on the area and the market. I helped teach an after school chess class and very soon ended up teaching it and the teacher helped me. Together we made a pretty good team. That lasted about 6 weeks. After that one of the students parents asked if I would coach their son for $20 an hour. I politely declined but understand their situation. There just aren't very many people willing to teach chess because there aren't many people willing to learn it. My advice would be double minimum wage.

bcguy asked this question in 2009. Most likely the interviewer got tired of waiting for an answer, and bcguy didn't get the job.😟

Brian, you are 16 years old with a chess.com rating less than 1400.... how much do you think the market will stand? I would guess $5-10 an hour. Good luck with the new job!

Clearly you don't know anything about how much coaches make. Depending on the area (Especially in cities) you typically only need an elo of 1200+ ideally higher and you can charge minimum $15-$30 an hr. The higher your rating and the more experienced you are the more you can charge. In a large city like new York most people even around 1200elo charge $100-$150 an hr. You don't need to be magnus Carlsen. In ops case you're correct his age would likely affect what he could make but only because it'd be harder to get students

Ur 1400 u cant be a coach

This is America so don’t expect make enough money to live off from working a job (or two). If you have a business you can take all the money and die with millions/billions of dollars and you won the game. Your employees can work until they die who cares? That’s their problem to deal with. Maybe 9 dollars an hour idk save up for that retirement

The minimum wage is still exactly the same from 14 years ago and it may never change ever again
