Xanathar's Guide gives guidelines for training in terms of tools and languages (10 weeks minimum, reduce by INT modifier). It gives a gold cost, which doesn't matter since this question involves party members.
So, three questions...
(1) What determines whether or not a character can teach a language or tool? Just that they have it themselves?
(2) How much would teaching while traveling extend this?
And my main question:
(3) What about training proficiency in a skill? Since the book doesn't mention it, I assume it isn't an option in RAW, but how would you houserule this? (Since, obviously, one person can train another in a skill.)
(I realize that anyone can already roll for any skill...this is basically allowing them to add their proficiency bonus, and clarify certain situations where a roll might be at disadvantage if it was a skill the character was unfamiliar with.)
