Lilia and Erin spring to mind.
On the male side, the likes of Ian, Matthew, Darren and Vincent were all good teachers.

I'd agree - she's not the first to come to mind, but you are right where John, Simon and Daniel are concerned.
I rate Kristina too. An apparently patient teacher, who takes her celebs seriously, irrespective of ability.

I agree most definitely.! Miss him very much.
Lilia was a great teacher, even with creepy Dom and managed to win with Darren Gough who was no more than competent. Then again she was helped in the final by a total brainstorm by Erin who is the other candidate for best teacher.

Yes, her and Natalie for the same reasons.Not only emotionally investing in them, so building their confidence, but use of clever choreography to highlight strengths and cover flaws. Aliona should take notes.
Alijaz and Giovanni are good too.
From previoua series liked Mathew Cutler and Ivetta Luckypoopoo

I didn't watch it then but really enjoy his Wednesday Warm Up with Zoë - why did they get rid of him from the main show?

I'd love to see Anya back. She is gorgeous and was a great dancer with Patrick. He did one of the better rumbas and their Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Charleston was superb. Does she still help out with the choreography as I read she was doing last year?
Trent was superb in his own right and with Pixie. He is another one I'd love to see return.
I could mention so many... Ian, Erin, Pasha...
but if I have to pick - and I still can't narrow it down to one - it would be:
Lilia Kopylova and Natalie Lowe.

Not to get into any controversy - just discussing teaching.
Thought Tristan taught Jamelia how to dance.
He seems to be one of the very patient Pros.
