The curse of knowledge problem remains for the expert, though. A long learning curve just means you need to be clear what the 1-year student can teach you. Namely they will be better specifically at helping someone get from year zero to year one in their learning. Perhaps a safer way to accomplish this is techniques like "peer learning", where students are put in groups and the ones who are ahead (i.e. they understood the concept when the prof presented it) can explain it to the ones who are behind in a way they understand better.
