To paraphrase this excellent point from his article:
A good teacher has broad knowledge about the subject that he/she teaches and the individual learners needs. Spending time with an excellent teacher is a delight, not because they are simply filled with a multitude of facts, but because they have the ability to help the learners stitch and weave those details together in a larger tapestry of understanding.

Tour guides are people who see depth and texture and connections where others don’t. That is why the best teachers are masters of the obvious. They see the same things that we do, but they are aware of so much more. And when they point it out, it changes the way we see everything.

A good tour guide has broad knowledge about the history, culture, economics, social dynamics, and other aspects of a particular place and the individuals who live there. Spending time with an excellent tour guide is a delight, not because they are simply filled with a multitude of facts, but because they have the ability to stitch and weave those details together in a larger tapestry of understanding.
