Well, yes?

What do you think "learning" means? If you cannot do something without the teacher, you haven't learned that thing.

I mean...yeah?

If your child says they've learned their multiplication tables but they can't actually multiply any numbers you give them do they actually know how to do multiplication? I would say no.
