“Not everyone who speaks from knowledge can be understood. There must be methods to deliver the knowledge, from enticement to intimidation, to many other types of approaching. What’s important is the gained outcome from the knowledge.”

Teaching methods are what connects the teacher’s knowledge and guidance and the students’ assimilation and understanding of the subject.
