I said the dreaded and forbidden i word

alphaous

I have seen the error of my ways however and shall now use poopooheads to designate anyone demonstrating below average intelligence because it is a clear form of levity. I shall now attempt to avoid all uses of that terrible word beggining with the letter after h

I do it all the time

the i word is the most versatile word to exist in the english language. Especially on the internet. You're bound to meet at least 3 netizens that fit the word perfectly everyday.

I understand that your target audience is 7 year olds, given that only a 7 year old would pay for coaching from a 2000 rated player, but you underestimate there intelligence, as even a 7 year old could tell that this "feedback" is copied and pasted and that you told them to say such things.

2000 Rapid is plenty qualified to teach beginner players.. not everyone has the ability to pay $100+ an hour to get GM to give them lessons - who if you're a beginner wouldn't be guaranteed to teach you better/faster/more well rounded

Why would they say anything at all if they don't like the lessons?

Because thats what feedback is for, to share your opinion. If one sees only positive reviews then its not a accurate representation of his service (which I know is bad cos hes only 2000)

A 2000 can teach a lot of things, especially if you're say 1000. One doesn't have to be a GM to be a good teacher.

They cant teach a lot.

According to your profile you are 1500 blitz and bullet and under 2000 rapid. So where do you get off criticizing him?
I'll say this, I did one hour or maybe 2 hour long class when i first started for a very good rate that he offered. And I learned quite a bit in that hour. Yes, the information was stuff that over the next year I have learned through various sources and it isn't ground breaking information, however, when you are at 400 or whtaever it was when I started, that info is very helpful. Even till today, I struggle with some of the concepts that were suggested in that first meeting like identifying weaknesses in my opponent's structure and improving weaknesses in mine. Even though that's a point I have to look out for in every middle game, its importance still rings true. 
To say that a 2000 person cannot coach is ridiculous. A 2000 person is perfectly fine coaching -- especially a player like myself, who knows little to nothing about the game of chess. 
I'd argue I could spend 10 times as much on an opening's course which i have to just follow the move order or I could invest in a coach who will teach me how to look at my own game play and learn how to analyze that information. 
I've since moved on from that to something else but the value was well worth it.

From reading the start and given you are 1200 yourself, I have seen enough. Blitz and bullet is about playing "OK" moves quickly. Not finding the best move. And I am not good at that. Which is why I'm about 1700 blitz.

My chess.com rating for blitz is 1500 but if you took a look at my games you would see that I don't take those games seriously. Because blitz and bullet arent real chess.

If you can't extend your playing strength to all time disciplines, that means some component of your game is substandard. And to safely build a harmonious understanding, a coach is the way to go.

The stronger you are, the more susceptible you are to false feedback. I think if you want to improve quickly as an intermediete player (>1500), you should consider another coach, but the intended audience here is different. The intended target audience is beginners.

However honestly, I don't think you really need a coach under 1000 either. The only constructive thing a coach can tell you as a beginner (<1000) is to look at the board and concentrate on not giving up any pieces. On the other hand, a coach can do a lot of things wrong there, too, because just yelling at them for making mistakes or pointing them out doesn't help. I give my students concrete exercises like finding the hanging piece or counting the number of unprotected pawns for example.

In case you're not sure where to start, I have gone through the effort of linking all the comments where you can find number 3. Especially since the likelihood of CMO's comment staying up seems low:

Sorry for not clarifying enough, but I meant this comment, point number 3: 

I want to express my gratitude to my students for their thoughtful reviews and to others for the amusing comments.

1. Coaches with a 2000 rating have likely been playing chess for many years and have accumulated a wealth of experience. They can share their insights and strategies with beginners, helping them develop their chess skills faster.

2. Improvement in any skill, including chess, requires consistent practice. If a player isn't putting in the necessary hours outside of coaching sessions, progress will be limited.

3. Some of the reviews have been copy/pasted, because I asked my students to share their thoughts on three different links. They originally composed their reviews on one link and then copy/pasted them across the other two.

The other two links are: [https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/feedback-from-my-students-1] and [https://youtu.be/0eTB7oHeRgM?si=a8FiUP8p4yIgWNAS]..

His classes are very good, my chess skills have improved significantly ever since he started coaching me, and his offer is definitely better than what most other coachs offer. I would rate him 10/10

Cobra2721

He is better than Cagnus, truly a player. Ohio/10

The_Doge_Lord

He is truly the best coach, would recommend

better than Nikaru hikamura. ohio/10
