However, the learning coach will follow along with each class and offer support if the student needs help understanding the material at the moment. The ideal person is patient, clear, and consistent. They should know how to create a calm environment while encouraging focus and curiosity. About the Student He is highly creative, deeply curious, and loves to learn when he sees how the material connects to the world around him. Otherwise, he couldn’t care less. He needs support staying on task, especially during transitions or after returning from travel. The right coach will be someone who can gently redirect him without escalating and who is excited about helping him grow his independence as a learner. He loves to travel and has already been to six countries.. He enjoys food, music, anime, graphic novels, and asking big questions.
