I think Jaune's going to be getting a little help from everybody...Pyrrha for weapons, Ren for Aura control, Nora for strength training (hehe), Weiss for Dust skills, Blake for tactics, and maybe Yang for unarmed combat.

But first he has to be willing to ask for and accept help. And I think it's Ruby who will get him there.

Recall her conversation with Ozpin in Episode 1: she was, in her own words, "garbage" until her uncle pointed her in the right direction. She probably relates to his situation better than anyone else in the cast - and more to the point, can communicate it to him in terms he'll understand, something Pyrrha couldn't manage despite her best efforts.
