I disagree with your disagreement. Asking the student a question is a fine thing to do if the student already half-assedly knows the entirety of the toolset. If they only know about 1/10 of the toolset, then a teacher looking at their work and saying "did you know that this tool exists, I think it will help you a ton" is a major help. Struggling to do something, seeing the expert who is teaching/mentoring you do it in a fraction of the time, then doing it yourself in a fraction of the time as you try the tool/technique they just demonstrated is a powerful experience that I have had multiple times in my life.
