 * > when member go to learning cat
 * assuming you mean the category archive page for ‘learning’:
 * do you want to show a list of clickable links to the sub cats?
 * if yes:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       <?php wp_list_categories('child_of=' . get_query_var( 'cat' ) ); ?>
       </ul>
       ```

 * you will possibly need to edit category.php in a child theme.
 * if you want anything else, please specifiy in more detail.
