The introduction of a Riemannian metric or a symplectic form gives rise to a natural isomorphism between the tangent space and the cotangent space at a point, associating to any tangent covector a canonical tangent vector.
The tangent space and the cotangent space at a point are both real vector spaces of the same dimension and therefore isomorphic to each other via many possible isomorphisms.
This formulation is analogous to the construction of the cotangent space to define the Zariski tangent space in algebraic geometry.
This yields the correspondence between the tangent space defined via derivations and the tangent space defined via the cotangent space.
