Though I was taught this through, or so I thought, it's still tough throughout.

        Maybe “thoroughly” would fit better…

      It’s correct as written. Think of it like “see this through” or taught this “through and through”. You can say “taught this through” to mean, “taught this completely/well”.

        I’ve never seen anyone use a singular “through” as a synonym for “thoroughly”. Maybe it’s a regional thing?

    The English language is difficult, but it can be understood through tough, thorough thought.
