coacher
One who mentors
Coacher is a rare or dialectal variant of coach, referring to someone who coaches or instructs others.
While coach dominates in standard usage for athletic trainers, tutors, and mentors, coacher occasionally appears in informal contexts or older texts.
The Little League coacher worked with the kids on their batting stance.
Most style guides and editors would flag this as nonstandard, preferring coach instead.
