This is most of the reason I'm pursuing the rating: I think it'll make me a
better pilot.

What you're seeing is the same thing they learned in medicine a long time
ago. The standard method for learning something new there is "see one, do
one, teach one". The last step drives the lesson home.


This last step is what in my talks with flight instructors I call the
"verification step".

The best way to determine that a pilot understands something you have
taught them is to have them teach it back to you in their own words
reflecting their own level of comprehension and retention.

This is the right approach to learning, and you are absolutely correct.
Teaching others to fly will without question make you a better pilot.
