I played alto/clar/flute/picc for many years before I took on tenor. I discovered that while it has all the similarities to the other horns--esp alto--it is its own instrument and has a lot of idiosyncrasies that you just have to figure out by playing and taking your time.
The only advice to give is to take it slow and give yourself time to get accustomed to the larger horn as well as the larger embouchure. There is no secret or special advice about learning tenor to give someone who already is an accomplished musician. Put in some time each day playing simple stuff until it becomes second nature--which it will.
You may also want to look into trying different mouthpieces to find which one gives you the best and most-easily-delivered tone.
