We are all a little different - none of us have the same face or teeth, so none of us are going to have the same embouchure, either. Just let the kid play - he'll be fine. Usually the most natural placement is the best one, so unless he looks REALLY wierd and uncomfortable when he plays, I'd stay away from a teacher that tries to change this, too.
