endgame? i would have expected it to be middlegame. my own endgame skills are pretty weak because I personally rarely enter the endgame because most of my games end in the middle game due to me or my opponent resigning from blundering a piece or two.
i don't think your biggest problem is the endgame. i think it's probably the frequency that you hang and blunder pieces. i would advise that you do more puzzles and play more games.
i'm going to try to give you some advice to improve. as many people will probably tell you, try to do puzzles more frequently. when solving try not to just make a move that looks good. calculate the entire thing and try to look for patterns in the puzzles that you can use in your own games.
now i'll try to give you some advice that you probably won't hear from many people, but it's what allowed me to get to where i am. although i'm not very high rated i believe it could help you get your rating up a good amount. play more games. what helped me improve was none of that "play longer games" stuff. i played a bunch of blitz games. while it may have not helped me improve tactics, mid game, opening, end game, i hung fewer pieces because it improved my board vision.
while this approach might not help you specifically, i can only give advice that i have seen works for me.

if you do end up trying my method, make sure to be careful. blitz games are addictive. i've had to catch myself many times. if you don't keep an active focus on improving board vision, the blitz games will not help at all.
Don't worry your message isn't anywhere near as long as my earlier one was. Anyways, I don't know enough about your current situation and I don't want to make a decision for you, but I would say that if it's free, go for it. Having a partner can't hurt can it? If they're not offering to help you for free, then I would suggest thinking through all the pros and cons before coming to a decision.
Chess.com has a lot of great resources to aid in your improvement, you may want to checkout https://www.chess.com/practice/drills and https://www.chess.com/lessons/endgames? .
On Chessable, I can attest that Yasser's FREE course https://www.chessable.com/winning-chess-endings-free-lesson/course/67152/ is good quality. I finished the course and it has helped me to win more games (and to draw instead of lose).
Also, feel free to friend and/or message if you'd ever like to practice endgames in the chess.com classroom
John Bartholomew's videos are always well explained. He did a series on endgames yonks ago. Well worth a geek.

I recommend John Bartholomew's videos too! They are great!
I hope this helps!
You can improve your endgame skills by studying the Endgame. I'd recommend a good book or two on the Endgame and then of course studying that book.
Well i figured out one thing that is making it hard for me to improve which my endgame is weak and any suggestions on how i could make my endgame well strong?
