My kid is better than me, help!

Absolutely reach out to that university chess team. Pretty much all clubs love helping newcomers, especially children. The club can connect you with local resources far better than we can.

I wouldn't bother with formal coaching yet. At this stage, the most important thing is that he has fun. As long as he gets to hang out with other players who are somewhat stronger than him, he'll learn plenty from them. If he wants something more rigorous, he'll let you know in due course - and your local club will be able to provide the best help with that.

One of the way to learn to play better is to play against a better player....you learn a lot this way if you play slower game like 15+10....

You must have the mind set to learn though and not play just to get an dopamine shot...
