Etymology
The word coach for a teacher comes from the Hungarian word kocsi meaning 'from Kocs', a village where a special carriage was made. Because that carriage 'carried' people, a tutor who 'carried' a student through an exam was nicknamed a coach, so today a coach is someone who trains or helps you improve.
