Glad to see you here :)
Yeah, I have been teaching in one form or another for 15 years now (adults) and I sometimes feel bad as I think I learn more than them :)

It's a pleasure to be back here ;)
Teaching used to be my main gig in my early to mid twenties and to be really honest, I miss it a lot! I seemed to have a knack for it and it felt quite fulfilling and as you said, I did learn a lot myself. Part of regular gigs included teaching business English to accomplished professionals from all kinds of fields and I have no doubt I was learning more than they were as they needed English for work so we often discussed what they do, how they handle different business situations and all kinds of fascinating info about the inner workings of their professions.
This is what I did my firs 12 or 13 years in Finland (still do a little) before starting my own business. It can be good fun.
I did that for a few years and than there was the financial crisis and work become unsteady so I moved on to other things. I've recently started doing some temp teacher work from time to time and I quickly realized how much I was missing it.
