At 10, the instruction doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be) too complex or detailed but a good older player like this will spot most significant flaws in swing mechanics and make sure he has a reasonable foundation to move forward with. Besides, 10 y.o.'s usually think it's pretty cool when someone like this is helping them. These HS/college kids will usually appreciate a few bucks but really enjoy working with the younger ones and you don't have to worry about them trying to sign you up to long term commitments. ....

totally agree with this approach. My son coached the 10 year old neighbor kid all this past year. did it for free had a great time doing it and so did the neighbor kid.
