Hi I am a chess student and here are some questions I would ask Most students at my level are clear on the rules so if I were a coach I would just get straight to tactics:
1) How do I respond to an orthodox opening?
2) How should I exchange my pieces (in what circumstances)?
3) How should I gain a points advantage over my opponent?
I hope that helps.
I'm going to start coaching soon and wanted to know what most students at any level ask there coaches ?
Student question: Why's the horsey called a knight?
what is better, bishop or knight?
who is better, fischer or kasparov?

Can I become a GM in a month?
"Coach, why are you asking people on chess.com how you should teach your classes? Should I really trust and pay someone who needs to ask such questions so he can learn how to coach others?"
Sorry to have to say that, and I am not wanting to seem rude, but honestly, if I were looking for a chess coach and saw him asking a question such as this, I would have zero confidence in him and would look elsewhere for a coach who is proven to be competent and has a clearcut curriculum already in place.

Nomad has a very good point.
I have also noticed something interesting here on the chess.com forums.
I think there is a strange misunderstanding regarding the word coaching.
On this forum it appears that coaching is understood as giving people links to helpful web pages and articles. Or simply answering a question someone has.
This is not coaching someone

This is just forums I did to openly try to share knowledge, I reference sites or books, but I try to be unique
Reading a wee more into the subject here in the forums.
Notice a lot of these coaches are children.
Someone pointed out it's an ego thing.
I've come to the conclusion it's kids who want to help (not a bad thing) and want to call people their students.
Nothing wrong here but it's silly as all hell, it's kids playing teacher
And now reading the ops profile the fact that he will only play gma and require a request for him to go "full strength" definitely supports my idea

You look to be a lot better player than the OP, but how do you get so high a rating playing against such a weak average? I can see the blitz is good, but standard?

I will say this 100 times to all those who asked, do not trust my standard rating, It was 1900 shortly after I joined, then I didn't want to lose rating points so, only played unrated games in long games. (Probably why you only see my average so low) A few weeks ago chess.com added the extra 400 points.
