Need help with progression

Still relatively a beginner. Haven't really had the time to play and learn chess but I seem to be stuck at the 1000 range. I first started playing at this range and I really haven't improved from this. Any tips? I need to break through this.

I started chess about 6 months ago and I found that I learned a lot from playing the 1 hour a side games and taking a lot of time to calculate lines. I got to over 1400 so far and I'm hoping to get to 1500 in 1 year from now. I also play blitz but that's just for fun and don't consider it learning.

Dear Ripz,

I can help you with improving all of your skills (openings, strategies, tactics, endgames and analysing your own games) at chess. I am an official, full-time coach. Let me introduce myself.

My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).

I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).
