It’s very interesting but native Japanese speakers like me would never imagine such is the point that confuses you.
You can see…

“-kureru (くれる)” = giving (spoken by the person who receives it, but subject is not that person.)
“-morau(もらう)” = receiving (spoken by the person who receives it)
“-ageru (あげる)” = giving (spoken by the person who gives it.)

They can be connected after 教えて (oshiete) =to teach, but it’s up to who is the subject.

Like Jenny in the story, she is the one who wants to receive the teaching. When Kirin teaches her Japanese, she would say;
“Kirinが私に日本語を教えてくれる” (Kirin is so kind as to teach me Japanese.)
Think like this. =>Kirin gives teaching to me.
Spoken by Jenny but the subject is not Jenny.

“私はKirinに日本語を教えてもらう” (I have Kirin taught me Japanese.)
Think like this. =>I receive teaching from Kirin.
Spoken by Jenny and the subject is also Jenny.

From Kirin’s point of view, she would say;
“私はJennyに日本語を教えてあげる” (I teach Jenny Japanese.)
Think like this. =>I give teaching to Jenny.
Spoken by Kirin and the subject is also Kirin.

When she tells her friend to ask Kirin to teach him Japanese, she would say;
“あなたもKirinに教えてもらえば？” (Why don’t you ask her for tutorials?)
Think like this. =>He should receive teaching from Kirin.
Spoken by Jenny and the subject is her friend.

Her friend asks Kirin, saying
“Kirin、僕にも教えてくれ”　(Kirin, teach me Japanese, too.)
Think like this =>imperative sentence
Spoken by Jenny’s friend and the subject is Kirin.
*This is a way of men’s talking. Women would say “私にも教えて” or ”私にも教えてちょうだい”

So watch out who is the speaker and if that person is to receive something or to give something.
I think “Kureru” is confusing, because it’s giving but spoken by the receiver’s point of view.
Oh how difficult to break down our language! (@_@) BTW, I’m not a Japanese teacher. ^ ^;
