teachable
Able to learn
Teachable describes someone willing and able to learn—open to instruction rather than resistant to it: She's smart and teachable, a coach's dream.
The word can also apply to subjects or skills that can be taught: Is creativity teachable, or is it innate?
A teachable moment is an unplanned opportunity for instruction that arises naturally from circumstances.
