FWIW, the best talent usually do not make the best teachers. This is a fact widely remarked upon in the world of sports. Knowing how to get your body to do something well is a very different skill from being able to get another person's body to do something well.

Knowing how various people get hung up on conceptually on different elements of a subject is something that comes from experience and outside review of your teaching that a "master" probably never gets. The corollary is that good teachers are rarely great in their field.
