We want to learn how to create animated videos like these, but we can't find a teacher that knows how to do it. Can someone explain in detail how to do it?

I just found some more nice demos from a pro: Infographic Workflow Series: Overview & Pre-Production on Vimeo

The Youtube videos will be easier for beginners to follow, but these are pretty cool to see.

They use "After Effects", but you can learn more or less similar video making at "goanimate"

Those are called infographics, and I agree that they were most likely done in After Effects.  I found a playlist of tutorials on Youtube that you might find helpful for learning some techniques: infographics tutorial - YouTube

While I agree  with Colin it probably is After Effects you could easily do all that with Animate and honestly I think it would be easier because you can draw the assets in the program instead of in say Illustrator and then importing everything.

Some of the 3D rotations and motion blur made me think it was After Effects. But I may have imagined the motion blur!

You could ask the company what tools they used to make the videos:

My guess is they used After Effects. They seem to have a big team,  I'm sure each animation takes a long time.

On the twitch tv Adobe channel there are a couple of animators. Look at the schedule here:

In particular, look for keyframer on Thursday, you could  watch that session and ask him questions about how to animate like is done in the video. He also has a YouTube channel where he posts his previous session, but of course you can't ask him questions in those! Here's his channel:

Beyond that, if you want to know how to do animation in Adobe Animate, there are lots of beginner tutorials on YouTube, as well as training sites like lynda.com
