hi all, reason for my interest in chess

Hi all, thought I’d introduce myself as I’m new, my name is Carl and live in England.
I learned how to play chess at a young age (by play I mean the rules and how the pieces move).
I returned to the game in later life (I’m now 50). I started to work as a support worker and used the game assist me in learning how some of my clients think and learn.
I’m well educated but as you know that means little in chess.
I have many weaknesses but my biggest is the opening game (I win many low level games from behind).
I became disabled during lockdown over here (but still work as much as I can).
You’ve probably heard this question many times, how best to improve my game so I can help others? (600-700 rating currently), also loving the site but how to get the best out of it at my standard?
Good luck all, met some great people and had some great matches on here
