I use both at the same time.
I pinch the right stick (with my pinky behind the Tx), and I hold the Tx with my left hand which leaves only my thumb for controling the Throttle/Rudder
i do the same, i also have the springs as loose as they'll go, and the sticks at their longest.
But as to teaching, since theres no right or wrong way, let them do whats comfortable
