I feel that a good math teacher or math tutor can reduce the material to the level of students.

I feel that math is only as hard as the person who is teaching it.

What is your view?

Thanks
I know that when a person knows too much he becomes a bad math teacher. Because he tends to explain more advanced concepts the students cannot follows. In fact, most the the great mathemations from history where horiffic teachers excluding Karl Jacobi.
