I used to use this program to teach Chess to new players http://chessmaster.uk.ubi.com/xi/index.php.

I liked it because it had interactive lessons with spoken instructions.  Is there any way to do this using chess.com?

Regardless of the program used I think you need to be a very good player to teach in any capacity. A decent player/teacher just needs a board pieces and himself/herself and a student.

Negative. You do not have to have a high chess rating to teach beginners...

But you then just teach them to your level, ie low so what’s the point.

 

The whole point is to teach beginners, to get them familiar with the basics of the game. Don't have to be a high class player to do that.
