Maybe some pattern flying for hints and tips and a second eye on things.
Take care of the night and/or the 3 hr instrument requirement when it’s appropriate.

Your 11000 hrs widebody don’t transfer to little airplanes if you know what I mean. It’s a different universe.
Let a young enthusiastic kid, a peer teach him. Don’t over mentor or over coach.
When I was a CFI I had a student with a “mentor” who was nothing but a pain in the behind. Came in demanding why his protege hadn’t soloed yet in 8 hrs?!
Well....how about he’s not ready and this isn’t the 60’s anymore.
We actually have a syllabus and things we need to accomplish.
