Absolutely hands seperately, and slowly, fingering is about muscle memory and the brain can learn a mistake just as easy as the right way.
Once she puts it to hands together, start slow, and gradually bring it back up to speed, for the exam...and RCM student would get higher points for too slow but accurate, other than up to speed but sloppy.
