I don't have adequate experience to answer your call for help, but here's what I would do: I'd keep the excellent coach for analyzing games together and get a separate more entertaining coach that costs less, and keeps me engaged on a week to week basis
Should I change my coach?

Fire your coach and buy a good book instead, e.g. "Zürich 1953" Bronstein.
You then get 210 lessons by one of the all time best players in the world for $21.

This is overly simplified due to my own limited understanding but dopamine and long-term memory are tied together. If something doesn't excite you or make you fearful at the neuroendocrine level you will have less memory of it, generally. Finding someone who keeps them excited about chess makes sense.
Your coach is probably finding working with a spoiled brat such as yourself tedious, and beneath his dignity. With your poorly chosen username and questionable attitude, he probably finds it more painful than you do.
Most of us would be so grateful for a coach, any coach - let alone one of the best coaches in the country - we wouldn't even dream of complaining, despite any personality difference.
I hope he sacks you with immediate effect. I look forward to your response.
+1 Swampy! Its quite a privilege to be able to afford a coach. OP doesnt realize what he has

I know I am in the wrong here, Maybe I am exaggerated a little he is only 2200(he is in the trainers committee of AICF). But yeah too also mention its group classes, for almost two months I am considering to quit but convinced myself not too and ruin such an opportunity but honestly I can never be interested in those classes.
I am finding my coaches training sessions boring, he just shows me some positions to analyse and some tactics, thats probably very normal but his style is very boring. The logical thing would be to leave him but he is one of the best coaches in my country and I fell dumb to do so. I am a very picky person this is my 4th coach. When I found my ideal coach I improved rapidly, after some time he denied teaching me because I was a little to good for him so he recommended me this coach, the starting days were decent but as we progressed thins got boring. I can never concentrate in the sessions. Help me
