Narrative:

I was conducting a new captain's supervised operating experience, wanting to do a visual approach. Approach cleared us for the ILS on a base leg after we anticipated a bay visual due to good WX. ATIS advised ILS's and bay/harbor visuals. Student (who already had been having problems) was surprised at clearance and flew through localizer trying to get autoflt system to respond. I focused too much on his problems, didn't notice him go through localizer to east of runway 16L centerline. Had him immediately correct. I should have intervened sooner. No loss of separation occurred to my knowledge.

ATIS ADVISED ILS'S AND BAY/HARBOR VISUALS. STUDENT (WHO ALREADY HAD BEEN HAVING PROBS) WAS SURPRISED AT CLRNC AND FLEW THROUGH LOC TRYING TO GET AUTOFLT SYS TO RESPOND. I FOCUSED TOO MUCH ON HIS PROBS, DIDN'T NOTICE HIM GO THROUGH LOC TO E OF RWY 16L CTRLINE. HAD HIM IMMEDIATELY CORRECT. I SHOULD HAVE INTERVENED SOONER.
