I have some trouble answering your question, chiefly because my definition of "expert" is approximately synonymous with your definition of "Level 2".
"Enough time" would be quite a long period of time. One problem is that there are a lot of textbook results that I would have to use in intermediate steps that would take me a long time to derive. Another is that there are a lot of experimental parameters that I haven't memorized and would have to look up. But I think I could teach arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, differential equations, and Newtonian physics enough that I could teach them proper engineering analysis.
