I'd probably liken the adult version of him to Jiraiya when it comes to his teaching capabilities, except he's a stable man in a healthy marriage, so he wouldn't suddenly abandon his students in a forest to go chase some tail.

The way I see it, if we follow Narutoverse conventions of groups, there are either a)the group that has an adorable underachiever, an ace and the girl or b)three average students with nothing exceptional to show for. In most cases, the GIRL of the group is book smart and pretty obedient, so they're usually easy to handle. The ace and the underachiever, on the other hand, can really mess up your shit.

Naruto has been both - an underachiever (0-16) and an ace (16 to now). He has talk no jutsu experience because of his Sasuke problem to the point that one session with Sarada convinced her not to stray from her path. So, if he's challenged with having to tutor a broken ace, he'd know not to make light of the issue and focus on trying to get that person in the right state of mind. And he'd know how to deal with an underachiever because he was one himself for the first quarter of his life.
