I struggle with improving at chess in general. Its not that i havnt improved at calculation or visualisation im aculy improving at those pretty quicly but my concentration is what kicks me back to a 5 year old chess players level. Are there any ways or tips for improving concentration in chess it just feels imposible to focus.

Sounds like this isn’t a chess issue so much as a psychological issue. Do you have trouble focusing on general or is it chess specific? Concentration can be improved on in various ways, many find meditation helps.

Focus on principles.....understanding fundamentals, not memorization of myriad details, is key, for the improving chess amateur.  Once you have a solid grasp of the application of principles, the details will begin to fall into place, slowly, over time.  Good chess is a process, not an epiphany.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected  chess coach and chess YouTuber based in California:

I love helping beginners out.  Therefore, 

I have tips and resources to help you improve your chess skills so you can win more games.  

-I  offer a  free beginner’s free eBook on my website, www.ChessByLauren.com in case you are interested. The book is about asking questions before each move.  

-Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more.  I offer interactive puzzles on my website: https://www.chessbylauren.com/two-choice-puzzles.php  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”

I hope that this helps.
