If you expect perfect factual accuracy from your teachers, yeah. On the flip side, they don't have the curse of knowledge yet i.e. it's still fresh in their mind what was difficult in the beginning, so they can probably explain very well. Just keep in mind who's teaching you, and it's just like if a co-student teaches you.

And if you feel you have to take what you hear with a grain of salt, that's probably good for your learning too.

I just mean in terms of experience. If you deviate from textbook accuracy and go into providing practical advice for real-life scenarios, someone with only a bachelor's and no work history is someone who can only give you canned anecdotes from others. Looking at his resume, it looks like he's had some internships so he has a bit of experience, and that's probably worth something

His main day job is as a SWE doing program analysis, so I'm pretty sure he's got the credentials to talk about real-life scenarios.
