Its not to hard to make a tutorial for PS, all you need to do is have a clear process from the starting point to a finished result. Run trough the technique/process a few times, make sure there are no unnecessary steps taken and that it is repeatable by others. Then start explaining comprehensively step by step what you do and why you do it so that everyone can learn from the tutorial. And always use lots of images print screens, are preferred so that you can see whats going on in the UI as well.

"Open a new document, use these parameters, (image of parameters)
Now do this so that we can... (image when applying xxx)
Then apply that in order to..." (image of dialog parameters)

Etc, step by step from start to finish.
