I've found you have to be very careful with LLM as teacher since, especially when it's the one explaining, it is wrong more often then you might think, and there's no way to know.
The best use of an LLM I've found in learning is for when I explain to it my understanding of what I learned and have it critique what I've said. This has greatly reduced the amount of backtracking I need to do as I start to realize I've misunderstand a foundational concept later on when things stop making sense. Often simply having the model response with "Not quite, ..." is enough to make me realize I need to go back and re-read a section.
The other absolute godsend is just being able to take a picture of an equation in a book and ask for some help understanding it notationally. This is especially helpful when going between fields that use different notation (e.g. statistics -> physics)
