To clarify, I understand that some people will have vacation plans for the holidays, so you are not required to use all 3 hours in the first week of december. The time can be split up however the winner chooses (1 hour sessions, 1.5 hour sessions, ect.).

Can I nominate someone else?
I nominate a player on chess.com called naturalproduct.
I am playing him in a training game. He is enthusiastic about chess and would enjoy getting some coaching.
Been spending a lot of time trying to get better at chess, and I really enojy it, but I feel like I have plateaued at 1350-1400. I think three hours of coaching would allow me to identify the areas I need to improve so I can keep getting better! Thanks for the consideration.

I spend everyday playing chess. All day. Just bought a bunch of chess books and a membership here on chess.com. Would love to improve.
Awesome! If you want fast improvement, coaching is the way to go!
Anyone else?
Coaching is overrated.
I am trying to master the game at 73 years of age - I need a coach!
Awesome! Anymore?
Coaching is overrated.
Yeah. It is for a muppet!!! When your next title will be FM = Fozzie Master then coaching is more useless than trying to make it easy to be green.
For the last time, I am not a muppet! I am a very badly designed oven mitt.
I'm always looking for more help. This is the MOST COMPLEX simple game I've ever seen and quite difficult to learn as an adult. CB-39, I applaud you for your efforts and feel free to friend/challenge me and we can both practice! Back to Luke - Very kind of your to offer this valuable gift.
"simple game"? wow
"simple game"? wow
You know - to learn how to move the pieces and the object is NOT difficult - it's the strategy that's killing me! I heard a quote once and I'm afraid I don't remember the source but it was "Chess is mental torture!" I think I agree!!
But dang, TUBESTER--wouldn't you then be higher-rated than your coach?
Hi Luke. Where do we leave the comment about why we want free coaching? I am tired of trying to train myself. I really don't know what I'm doing most times. I wing it. It would be great to get a different perspective on the game from someone else.
You can leave the comment right here in this thread.
@Andy, there is a difference between blitz strength and OTB strength as you of course know. :)

A fine bit of snidery, Luke--I tip my hat to you! 
I have formed the opinion that someone should play at the same time limit in chess all the time. Different time limits present different amounts of cognitive information, different lengths of concentration, and different demands of clock management. Ideally if it's 1 0 or 90 30 someone should play just that. I know that not everyone agrees with me on this.
So I agree with ljschess about AndyClifton!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Please DO NOT put me in the draw. I offer to put a player called Naturalproduct in the draw who would get a lot more from coaching.
On the surface, AndyClifton appears to be an unrelevant troll. I would say please stop belittling the OP's attempt to gather interest in getting a student, but then again AndyClifton would not care. Therefore, his/her/it (muppet), actions require serious attention by itself because of the persona given off here of wanting to see the world burn.
Hello fellow chess players!
