Always good to shoot a heads-up in adminhelp before you start, so that the admins are aware of what you're doing. My personal preference would be to use in-game chat/LOOC (depending on server) to talk through the stuff with you playing in the same department as them. Remind them regularly to make use of mentorhelp for game mechanics questions.
Another option is to simply observe them as a ghost (i.e. you observe the round, find them, and observe them throughout the round), in which case I personally would have no objections to giving mechanical help via some private voice chat (obvious exception: any information gleaned from deadchat), and usual mentor-like guidelines of trying to avoid steering them - tell them how to do something, not what to do.
In general, if you make a good faith attempt to give the admins a warning that you're teaching some newbie, rather than us having to admin PM you when we suspect metacomms or whatever, you're definitely going to have a better time of it.
