Igor Smirnov’s course is free

Another vote for youtube here, ChessVibes or Gothamchess are both great, free, and have some great lessons for players a bit beyond the beginner level.

Learn and apply the most important principles of chess. - (core of my teaching)
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.
