E.g:
يتعلم»بيتعلم

It's a prefix for present tense or present continuous tense, which comes for all pronouns ..
Examples : أنا بتعلم عربي I learn Arabic
أنا بآكل كُشري دلوقتي I'm eating Koshary now
this is used for a dialect, here it's Egyptian Dialect

And Egyptian dialect as well. i think we say it to sound more natural you won't find a native Arabic Egyptian speaker say "هو يتعلم القيادة" he would say "هو بيتعلم السواقة" so it's all about dialect /accent and (ب) at the beginning of the verb do nothing
I ain't sure u gonna understand this but i hope it will be helpful

That just due to their dialect, and the same is with the egyptional arabic.
يتعلم = بيتعلم
They give the same meaning.
