It depends on what you think teaching is I guess.

A teacher can only do two things, direct and accelerate someone else’s learning. I am assuming you did both, intentionally or not. I can direct someones’s learning by simply teasing curiosity. I can accelerate by choosing to expose or by encouraging to experience.

We associate teaching to bad teaching, because there is a whole lot of it out there.

Even if I were to try to directly transfer knowledge to my son, which of course I do, in a multitude of ways, one day, if that knowledge matters to him, he’ll come back to me and tell me the same thing as if he had just discovered it.
