Vibrato 101?

Question:Hello everyone, I am a fellow flutist of seven good years and now hold a job tutoring those in my ensemble.
Only recently, did I receive a female student who was just beginning her journey of "fluting."
For the past few weeks I have been assisting her on her solo and helping her to pinpoint her struggles and challenge her strengths. She is developing exceptionally .
Because Solo and Ensemble is near, I have not been picky on making her solo absolutely, professionally, and undeniably perfect and just to focus on developing lovely tones and making accurate notes, rhythms, and articulations.
One technique I knew would most definitely define her solo is the use of vibrato. Only I don't know the best way to teach her except for telling her how I came to learning it. And I am aware everyone learns differently and at their own pace.
Are there any instrumentalists, particularly flutists, who could offer me advice on how to best teach her in general?
