It's always great to see peer to peer teaching. I see it happen in action when I teach teen filmmaking workshops. I teach how to use the equipment to the first person using it and then after a little while I get them to switch roles, and without telling them to, the students automatically start showing the new person how to use the camera or the sound recording system. Teaching each other comes naturally. Also as the teacher I just see myself as an upper level student sharing what I know. There's a saying that goes something like "when you teach you learn the subject twice." I do believe teaching has made me a better filmmaker because every time I teach I'm relearning.
Thanks for your comment Zachary, it sounds like a fantastic experience to witness and facilitate. And I love that teaching has deepened your skills in the topic you're transmitting- it feels the same for me too!
