This is not a natural English construction. "Coash" usually refers to sports. Perhaps, for sschool subjects, I'd say: " Occasionally, I mentor grade students in math."

I am not sure that you are right there dimsum. I am a language coach. I coach adults in English.

My dictionary gives the following definition:- A coach is someone whose job is to teach people to improve at a sport, skill, or school subject.

Julius - I would say that you coach them in maths.

In the US, I am not sure if people would use "math coach" over "math tutor".
