When I do the chop, it doesn't seem to work for me. Either I end up giving too much backspin and it doesn't even travel to the opponent's court instead gets to my net or I try to make it so deceptive that I miss it. How to improve this?

You haven't mentioned, whether your're chopping with a regular inverted rubber, or a pimpled one.. whether it's BH or FH, and against what type of stroke - I'll assume it's against Top-Spin ..
Anyway, whatever it is, First, get the basics right .. .Don't go for deception, or other such advance tricks.. .. Just get the basic stroke mechanics, and aim to get the ball on the table, consistently...
You!! Original Poster, I think!!Who's OP?
Mr. IB66, I wonder that you live in which country. Do you know there's a virus named COVID-19 in the whole earth currently that's creating havoc? I dare say, you shouldn't think your virus-free country is similar to others. In India, there's currently lockdown. So I want to know where did you hatch the 1:1 professional training idea? To me, only a madman can hatch such ideas during this current state of every country (apparently except yours). I'm only watching the few free videos on table tennis I can get on YouTube. So what do mean by learn basics first? What do you mean by Original poster? I generally don't lose my temper, but you're very rough compared to the others and quite trying also. Sorry if I am rude but you'll have to cope.
Currently there are no lockdowns in Europe. In most European countries more than 50% of the population is vaccinated.
1:1 coaching is ok.
Here, in Bulgaria, the population is vaccinated only 17% and it seams that we are in the beginning of a knew wave, but we still are not in lockdown, so we have tournaments every day, as well as coaching.
