Coaching roles: three distinct contexts
Platform data shows outcomes differ significantly depending on the coaching relationship — whether peer, mentor, or specialist coach.
Peer coaching sessions average 28 minutes and occur most frequently on evenings before assessment periods. Technique diversity is lower but session continuity is higher.
Mentor coaching uses structured frameworks more consistently — GROW and OSKAR appear in 63% of recorded mentor sessions on the platform.
Specialist coaches working with geographically remote students show the broadest technique range — averaging 6.4 distinct techniques per 10-session block.
