- If your address starting with "1" then your derivation path will be m/44'/0'/0'

- If your address starting with "3" then your derivation path will be m/49'/0'/0'

- If your address starting with "bc1" then your derivation path will be m/84'/0'/0'
This will only work if he's importing the BIP39 SEED, not the private key and with the latest version, this is not necessary.
After pasting the SEED, check "BIP39", and after pressing "next", there will be a checkbox of the available address type,
he can just select, "Legacy", "Native-SegWit" and "P2SH-Nested Segwit" to match the original addresses.
