Chess Mentor
Sort:
I am only 1200 rated player and I am only 11 year old. I want a chess mentor who can pull my rating to 1600 in two years or less. No tension for fees. Is there some chess mentor ready to coach me?

Playing nothing but bullet, and blitz?
And you want free coaching?
When youre serious about improving, i wish you luck.
can you win against me?
If not I wish you luck too

You are thinking like an 11 year old. It really doesn't matter.
If you are serious in improving your chess game there are many ways this can be done without asking for a free mentor.

When you grow up, and take things seriously, you will be ready for coaching. Until then, no decent rated player is going to waste there time.

"..., you have to make a decision: have tons of fun playing blitz (without learning much), or be serious and play with longer time controls so you can actually think.
One isn’t better than another. Having fun playing bullet is great stuff, while 3-0 and 5-0 are also ways to get your pulse pounding and blood pressure leaping off the charts. But will you become a good player? Most likely not.
Of course, you can do both (long and fast games), ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (June 9, 2016)

What is it with people and wanting all of this hard work for free? You want someone to spend the next 2 years to help you improve but do not want to compensate them for the effort? I would suggest you look to mom and dad, as they are the only people who will be willing to do that.
The downside to the internet (The entire knowledge of the known universe, and porn). And what do we do with it?
"I want to be taught for free"
"I dont want to wait"
All this instant gratification has got to go...NOW!!!

Are you implying that the internet is only fun when Hogans Heroes is not on?

Given it’s not a blitz game and if it is then no less than 10 minute increments or else won’t really benefit you

I don't want free coaching. I said that I am ready to pay anything for coaching.

Ok, could’ve just said it like that in the first place, as just “no tension for fees” can be interpreted many different ways. Nonetheless, I wish you well on your journey to 1600.
