Task 1 Report
Responsibilities of a coach, mentor and teacher in relation to working with individual students
A crucial responsibility is played by the coach, mentor and teacher in relation to facilitate
and lead out an effective relationship while working with individual students through a way of
supporting them and treating them as an individual to help them to achieve their aim and
objectives (Baeten and et. al., 2018). The main responsibilities of a coach, mentor and teacher in
relation to working with individual students are evaluated in the following points:
 A vital role and responsibility is lead by a coach, mentor and teacher in identifying the
need of an individual students to ensure better and more individualised learning of each
individual strident as per their specific needs and expectation to achieve there objectives
in a better way.
 Apart from this an effective support and helping hand is also provided by a coach,
mentor and teacher for an individual learner and student as per there level and type for
facilitating better accomplishment of learning aim by the way of providing appropriate
guidance and direction (Delgado, 2020).
 Promoting student autonomy is also a vital responsibility of coach, mentor and teacher by

development of an individual student though challenging the limit and weakness of an
individual student along with providing referral to specialist support for allowing better
choices and encouraging students to take risk for better accomplishment of aim and
achievement of set objectives (Gibbons and Farley, 2020).
Differences between the coaching, mentoring and teaching roles in relation to working with
individual learners
Coaching, mentoring and teaching plays a vital role in relation to working with an individual
learner but still a difference exits between all these three phenomena. The difference among the
coaching, mentoring and teaching roles in relation to working with individual learners is
evaluated and discussed below:
Coaching
Coaching is mainly associated with a learning process that exists and present in a learning
world and associated with the place where things actually happen thus coaching is mainly aspires
during actual action (Giust and Valle-Riestra, 2017). Apart from this, coaching involves an
exertive experience coach who implements and directs about basic points and key points to
learner at different situation. Thus, a coach works and emphasis on the basic concepts and also
focuses on key points which are identifying the situation, adjusting their actions, performance,
and actual lessons learned. Further, coaching also aim at identifying the actual area of
improvement for an individual student through providing and leading out guidance and direction
in order to meet student needs and targeted outcome.
Mentoring
The learning process and concept of mentoring is mainly associated and linked with the
meeting of objective and fulfilment of individual aim through getting and leading rethink about
their goals by the help of developing enhanced experience. Thus, the role of Mentor in individual
learning is mainly associated with the helping out an individual through creating a clear picture
of future to meet and accomplish their path. Therefore, mentoring is different from coaching as it
does not involve talking about key concepts where as includes and comprises of facilitating their
personal values and find emotional balance through acting as a friend and supporting their
individuality through creating a picture of the future to determine their future direction (Grey and
et. al., 2020).
