didact
This term carries a strong negative connotation, describing someone whose approach to instruction is perceived as arrogant or condescending. It suggests a rigid adherence to formal teaching methods that ignores the needs or perspectives of the learner, transforming a helpful act into an exercise of intellectual superiority.
While a teacher aims to facilitate learning, a didact is often viewed as someone who lectures at others rather than engaging with them. The word evokes an image of a stiff, pedantic individual who prioritizes the delivery of information over the actual comprehension or well-being of the student.
