FWIW, I intend to help him prepare, backing up the study material, but expecting him to use online videos primarily along with the supplied books and other material. If all goes well, I may be his CFI in the summer.
I know Jepp used to make a pretty decent PPL kit (book, workbook, E6B, etc).
For written prep, you just want a study book with all the questions from the bank. I would get about 2/3 of the way through, take some time out for written cramming, knock that out, and then go back to training and checkride prep.
You don't want to the student mixing up written prep with checkride prep... those are not quite the same thing.
