Hi, Can someone recommend the best way to improve chess for a 30 year old, who can spare half an hour daily and about 3-4 hours on week ends.

I'd suggest you get a pocketbook with tacticspuzzles,like Reinfeld's 1001 brilliant ways to checkmate.Carry it around and when you have a few minutes to spare during the week you can open it and try one of the puzzles.In the weekends you might try playing as many 'live' games as you can.Devote some time on studying openings too,but not too much.Get yourself a repertoire and stick to that.
That's all I can come up with,but I'm sure others will add usefull hints 😀
