In the stereotypical view of the public, an exceptional intellectual, senior technician, or scientist often makes a good teacher, capable of mentoring exceptional disciples.
However, it must be said that this impression is quite far-fetched.
Because "education" in itself is an academic discipline.
Understanding the psychology of beginners, knowing how a knowledge model can be constructed from scratch… these skills also require specialized learning and research.
Many geniuses fail to be good teachers. There are numerous historical records of this. When those genius scientists teach, they often skip over many knowledge points—assuming "ah, this part here is very clear," "since it's very simple, I won't explain it," or "I think those who understand, understand." You can't say they didn't try their best to teach, because that's exactly how they learned themselves. They just hope that their students can replicate what they have achieved.
