when do you use "Quand" I've been seeing this word "lorsque" a lot when people seem to be saying "when" and I don't understand when to use which.

Apprendre et enseigner

I have seen that the verb « apprendre » can mean both to learn and to teach in French. And I also know that « enseigner » can sometimes mean to teach (but in a narrower sense, and it can never mean to learn). My question is : Can one say in this exercise « je lui ENSEIGNERAI à être indépendante et forte » or is this just a wrong usage of this verb?
