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

    You were taught this through? Through what?

        Maybe “thoroughly” would fit better…

      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?

    The English language is difficult, but it can be understood through tough, thorough thought.
