Stuck at 1500 rating on chess com
I have been playing for two years and I feel like I have hit a wall. I fluctuate around 1500 and cannot seem to break through to the next level. I watch videos and do puzzles but my game is not improving. I feel like I need someone to look at my games and tell me what I am doing wrong. Has anyone tried personal coaching? Does it actually help or is it a waste of money?

I was in the exact same spot last year. The problem with videos is that they are general, they do not address your specific blind spots. I decided to hire a chess coach grandmaster https://chess-grandmaster.com/ to review my games and it changed everything. A GM can look at a position you thought was fine and instantly show you three strategic errors you missed. They help you build a structured plan rather than just playing randomly. It is definitely not a waste if you are serious about improving. You will stop making the same mistakes and start understanding the deeper logic behind the moves.
