My brother and I

I am a Shodan in Yoshinkan Aikido, I do not have a training schedual with my sensei that would be flexible with my brother and he seems to have a small intrest in learning some Aikido. I have been showing him the Basic movements and a little Kote-gashi. Is there anythign wrong with this? He is 3 years older than me, by far stronger (which hinders him ) and a fast learner. I am tempted to do the basic throws. When I teach him I show it step by step, then when we get to the throwing part I stop there and have him show the stuff up the the throwing part, after that he gets to throw me, but I direct him until he gets it on his own. He seems to grasp it fast and fine. But, I am worried about hurting/getting in trouble. ANy thoughts? I do not have a dojo to go to ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
