[Chess Academy](https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/chess-discord-server-chess-academy) has a channel called **#find-training-partners**, which is used by players who want to share knowledge and help each other. Another one is [ChessDojo](https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/e9bkm4/new_discord_server_all_about_chess_improvement/), which also has a **#find-training-partners** as well as a **#coaching-discussion** channel.

  As you seem to have suspected, both lichess.org and chess.com have resources where students can find coaches:
  
  * username_2 already pointed out that lichess' coaches page is at: <https://lichess.org/coach>
  * The chess.com coaches page is at: <https://www.chess.com/coaches>
  
  Some other suggestions for finding a coach:
  
  * A web search can also find coaches. The lichess and chess.com pages above are the only results I saw on the first results page which provide a list. The remaining results are web sites of coaches, which is itself a list you can look through.
  * US Chess has a list of coaches who have gone through its certification program at:
