They explained that in context. He told Rey she needed a teacher, and she used the Force Knowledge Extract trick he unwittingly taught her when she was a prisoner.
Watch the fight again... She's getting her ass kicked, doesn't even know how to hold a lightsaber.
"You need a teacher..."
"You're right." Closes her eyes, force downloads the techniques Matrix style, THEN kicks his ass.
Also Ren had just killed his own dad and survived being shot by a gun that launches everyone else it hits clean off their feet. He wasn't exactly on his A game for that fight and the film made that clear
Killing his dad threw him into emotional turmoil, the light was gripping at him.
That’s why he kept punching his wound, to try to be angry instead of sad.
Even wounded he could have force choked her walked over and stabbed her through the guts with his lightsaber.
This would be a much better ending, because we all know getting stabbed by a lightsaber in Disney Star Wars is barely a flesh wound and she could be back for the next movie.
But he didn't want to kill her, he wanted to turn her to the dark side.
