Interesting question, and one that shows you are benefiting from your studies.

After 6 months, the novice should be pretty good at playing preflop, given the loose aggressive game that you stipulate. So I would go with first option, even though it also leaves the novice playing the turn, which is arguably the most important and difficult street. So I think that which strategy to use is a very close decision. It mostly depends on exactly which type of mistakes the novice makes, of course.
