I have taught many things to many people during my life. From tutoring in HS and college, to teaching classes in both grad school and at work. What I found was, that I ended up learning more than the people I was teaching. Not more I guess, but a deeper understanding than I had before. During the process of thinking about and researching what I thought they needed to know, I would discover gaps in my own knowledge that needed to be filled. After going through that process you suddenly realize that you didn't know as much as you think you did, not even close.

This is totally true. I teach English and music professionally so I feel I can advise you a bit. Always take some sort of payment, even if it is token. That way both the student and the teacher will take it more seriously. On a monetary form, between friends, I would say a token $10 an hour would be fine. If you don't want a money exchange I can assume since you're in Iraq that the two of you could easily find things of value to trade.
