I've tried to do this but with learning poker, and it's sort of a mixed bag. You kind of have to know what you don't know before you can get anything useful out of it. It can sort of help going from "I understand this concept, but not instinctively" to "I've drilled this enough that I could do things like this in my sleep", but it takes a lot of iteration and asking questions before it can settle on a series of instructive examples that each build on top of each other. You're still much better off with a well-written textbook.
