I would strongly advise against this. Intentionally going through wake turbulence might build his confidence too much. Wake turbulence *is* a big deal, and should be respected. It's just not something that should be blindly feared.
Take this from someone who was rolled 45 degrees, while at 50 AGL, crossing the runway threshold, because of wake turbulence from a Dash 8. All because I got overconfident with the "it's never been a big deal before" attitude.
