Hi Devlin,
I would start with the 4 basic strokes. The forehand and backhand counterhit and the forehand and backhand push.
The backhand drive is just one of these strokes.
Make sure they can do these well over the first 6 months to a year of their training.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
