Hi new player here really tired of loosing 
Is there a high ranked player around willing to play a correspondence game or two to teach? Also can anyone good reading material for beginners to learn correctly? Thanks in advance.
For beginners I recommend:
āGo, A Complete Introduction to the Gameā by Cho Chikun and
āGraded Go Problems for Beginners Vol 1ā
As an aside, I credit āFundamental Principles of Goā for lifting me from DDK to SDK and for adjusting to the full-size board but thatās for later.
I donāt know about āhigh rankedā. As SDK I just have an even bigger sense of how staggeringly large my ignorance is butā¦
Iād be happy to play a āMalkovichā 9x9 correspondence game with you which is where the comments only become visible after the game. Allows me to get a sense of what you do and donāt know before I start flapping my lips. If you like that idea send me a pm and Iāll set it up.
I looked at one of your games, and my very first advice is to just pay attention.
If you keep your stones separated, black will cut (black E6).
If you play a stone with one liberty, black captures (white A9).
If you let black play 5 moves without replying, donāt be surprised if you end up being captured (black L2, L3, N2, M1, A2).
You missed a great opportunity to take the lead at move 64. If you count the liberties, black has 3 and white has 3. White G2 wins the race.
I hope this helps.

Welcome to Go and on OGS.
You can send me a challenge. (9x9 unranked, time settings as you like, title āteaching gameā or something equally telling)
We can talk about why a move is bad and where you should focus.
It should get better if youāre playing against fellow 25k player.
You donāt need a high ranked teacher. Higher should be sufficient. Iām not even sure at which rank one starts to think āMy rank is highā 
I donāt know if itās good, but at least itās free

You can also look at Play Go Online Game - Cosumi. Itās a beginner tutorial, teaching the rules and some basics.
