Patience.

In my experience, people who want you to fix their PCs mainly want you to get stuff done, rarely do they want to know what you've done precisely or learn "how to". Still, teaching some basics (mouse controls, basic shortcuts and web browser basics) is essential, but make sure you can be efficient at just fixing their machine.

Good luck to everybody for the upcoming Christmas fixes.
