This. Knowing history doesn't make you a good history teacher. Knowing how to do carpentry doesn't make you a good woodwork teacher. On the flip side, watching someone do history isn't learning history, and watching someone do woodwork isn't learning carpentry.

Teaching is a huge skillset all of its own. If you want to be a teacher, you could investigate your local universities and colleges for teaching degrees. If you don't wish to get qualifications, you could investigate local volunteer opportunities to be an aide, if they take unqualified aides - schools, community literacy programmes, etc. You haven't mentioned where in the world you are, so there's not a lot more anyone here can offer in terms of suggestions. Or, as mentioned above, there is always Librivox.
