A basic but handy framework for teaching folks a skill is the EDGE method. Explain the task, Demonstrate how to carry out the task, Guide the student through performing the task, then Enable them to do it on their own until proficient.

Beyond that, I would suggest building rapport with your student(s) to understand their starting point, breaking down your craft into clear learning objectives and tangible measures of success. Then, use that to build a pathway (curriculum) of bite-sized steps that build on one another. And most of all be open to trying new approaches and taking feedback from your students to improve it over time. Students make great teachers if you listen.
