Narrative:
I had asked the multi-engine rated commercial flight instructor pilot to climb to 1;500 ft MSL on heading of 240 until intercepting the 260 bearing to the wentz intersection. I advised that he needed to just climb runway heading to 1;500 ft MSL and stop climb. I advised that I would give him heading to intercept the 260 bearing to wentz. I repeated this direction multiple times prior to engine start as I thought it safer for him to fly and me navigate; but I knew that it would be a challenge to do both in the king air. After normal takeoff; I advised to start the level off as we went through 1;200 ft MSL. As we reached 1;500 ft MSL; I noticed that he was level. I looked back at departure procedure and advised turn right heading 260 to wentz. When I looked back at altitude; he was climbing through 1;600 ft. I advised go back to 1;500 ft and started pushing on yoke. We climbed through 1;680 ft on the altimeter before descending back to 1;500 ft MSL. ATC called and advised that we were required to be at 1;500 ft over wentz. I responded; 'roger; 1;500 ft;' and we leveled off at 1;500 ft. No further comments were made regarding the issue.

Title: A BE20 Captain briefed his First Officer in depth about the TEB RUUDY THREE 1;500 FT restriction and yet after inflight verbal reminders; the First Officer momentarily leveled at 1;500 FT; then continued the climb before descending again.
