“Hi, I see you’re using <SQL Object>, I can give you some background information on it and help you get more productive with it”

At first its hands on help, after you know what people need to get working with it, pop the common things into a doc and point people at it when they ask for help. adjust doc if insufficient.

lastly always ask people you’re mentoring what their preferred way of learning is: some people learn by being shown and explained, some by guided “doing”, some by solitary exploration. Ask them how best you can support them. (some really Juniors won’t even know this, you may have to let them introspect about this first). it’s as simple as “before we get into this, how do you like to learn?”
