If you don't worship Satan, then why do you want to know about his so called teachings?
God bless you.

The Bible is actually very tight lipped about Satan (and for good reason). You shouldn't try to learn much about him.
Job 1:7 The LORD said to Satan, "From where have you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Jesus said (to the Pharisees):
Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Satan and his teachings?
The Bible speaks about what God teaches about Satan. I don't know of anything about anything Satan teaches that's placed in the Bible. The closest thing that I would know about would be when he lied to Eve:
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Other verses could be...
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Hope this helps you.

i'm not sure satan "teaches" anything. He's not really the opposite of God. The bible talks mostly about satan being a liar and deciever, you should read the Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. Satan's main activity it to divert our attention away from God by any means possible, including (in extreme cases) duping folks into creating their own twisted and perverted version of a church (usually a perversion of the Catholic or Orthodox Eurcharistic Liturgy). Just look at everything opposite of good, and you'll get Satan's "teachings"

John 10:10 NIV
(10a) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
1 Peter 5:8 NIV
(8) Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Matthew 13:38-40 NIV
(38) The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
(39) and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
(40) "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
...plus, almost the entire book of Job.

Genesis tells of the way of satan and how he came to be. It is a good place to find out the mind of satan, who is not called satan at that time . He is called lucifer, or shining one.
He is in the bible from the beginning with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden and when he cause them to sin, well that got him thrown out of heaven. and it all began .

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

There's that passage in 2 Kings 2:23, where Satan goes on a tirade because a group of kids keep calling him Santa, and so he asks god to send some bears to destroy the boys.
I guess from that we can see that his teachings are "don't mess with Satan because he'll have you destroyed".
...oh wait, that story is about Elisha, not Satan.
