Teach vs Learn

Many of my students often mix the two verbs up: to learn and to teach. To make thinks clear, have a look at the following explanation and examples.

learn – learnt / learned - learnt / learned - to gain knowledge of a subject or skill, by experience, by studying it, e.g.
What's the best way to learn a language?
I learnt to drive when I was 17.
Hector spent the winter learning how to cope with his blindness.

teach – taught – taught - to give lessons in a school, college, or university, or to help someone learn about something by giving them information, e.g.
Neil teaches at the Guildhall School of Music in London.
He taught geography at the local secondary school.
We were never taught anything about other religions.
