Hi
Tell your friend to practice lip trils slowly every day for a minute.
If people practice it too much will be very frustrating...
I you just play minute, but every single day, the results will arrive sooner.

For example playing scales, and make a small and slow lip trill on the 2nd 
degree of the scale, before resolving might also help.

just my 2cents


Have a nice practice!
