re-explaining
Teaching it twice
Re-explaining is explaining something again, typically in a different way or with more clarity after an initial explanation failed to land.
The word implies the first attempt didn't work: I spent ten minutes re-explaining the directions to him.
It suggests patience tested or a listener who needs more help understanding.
