Out of all brass players, tuba players have the weirdest embochures. Everyone's really different to a point you should not change a person's embochure for tuba. Rather, teach them the proper way to breathe and center a note, then it will naturally form in itself. So I would just worry about how you blow and support your air than your exactly placement of your lips. If you think too much about your lip, you may tend to tense up and use more lip than when it should be 90% or so air.
