From the two shots I saw, he jerked the first one and held a bit too long on the second. However, I fully agree with your philosophy, as stated here:

I have discovered it's best to leave him alone while shooting as long as it is safe. It seems the more I try to adjust his style to what I think is correct, he becomes frustrated. This results in his lack of hitting the target and interest.

Yep. Teach him the basics and let him develop. When he identifies an issue, let him come to you for advice. Then you are teaching upon request.
One thing you should teach up front is to get the habit of focusing on the front sight, not the target and not the rear sight. Your eye can only focus on one point. In this case, it should be the front sight. I've been amazed at how much this will improve the shooting of my students, once they acquire the habit.
