Use 「仕込む」 for patiently drilling a skill or rules into someone over time, and for stocking up or prepping supplies such as food. For ordinary teaching, 「教える」 is the default; 「教え込む」 is a close match for thorough drilling but lacks the prep sense. For advance preparation, 「準備」 is the all-rounder, 「下ごしらえ」 and 「下準備」 suit cooking prep, 「支度」 getting ready to go out. Written or specialized terms — 「指導」, 「指南」, 「伝授」, 「授ける」, 「教示」 — belong to formal guidance, traditional arts, or business requests.
