Though I was taught this through, or so I thought, it's still tough throughout. (beehaw.org)

It's correct as written. Think of it like "see this through" or taught this "through and through". You can say "taught this through" to mean, "taught this completely/well".

I’ve never seen anyone use a singular “through” as a synonym for “thoroughly”. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
