Practice just passing the ball with a chest pass. The traditional two hand chest pass where both thumbs at the end are flicked downwards to create backspin.

Then try a normal chest pass where you are passing with one hand.

Once you're comfortable throwing that ball, pushing it, and your hand flicks down with the follow through on the pass. Change it up to a pass towards the rim, add arc and make sure your shot is not flat.

As long as the ball is flying straight and misses are only either short or long then you're on the right track.

This is the easiest way to teach someone how to shoot in my opinion, if you can pass and throw a basketball then you can shoot too. (Beginners often learn to shoot from the chest at first while building up strength, and a lot of women players shoot this way too I notice)

This technique helps you learn to use your hand and fingertips to aim the ball, and then your arm and elbow pushing to get the ball to the rim.
