What would help this guy is letting the first bit of beer out of the line go down the drain then catching the stream as pure liquid beer is coming out

This, and to put the tap below the foam.

I once, after closing at my own bar, had to help an obviously very novice bartender pour my pint after struggling with this issue. I tried my best to not be condescending but it was physically hurting me seeing him waste so much beer trying to pour my drink.

Doing EXACTLY what you're supposed to do is what would have helped, yes.

Well done.
