It sounds like you are forcing your individual habits and preferences as an engineer on your team. I'm sure if you think back to being an IC, you would say that's not a fun quality to have in a team lead.

For example, how are you "pushing" them to learn/"educate them"? Are you supporting and encouraging them, or are you just telling them what to do and trying to show off? Consider that some people may prefer to learn by reading physical books, some may prefer an online Safari sub, some may want to give a lunch and learn, some may like going to a conference, some may appreciate unscheduled time to try new things.

IMO stop worrying about being liked and start working on being a good leader to your team.
