demystifier
Makes things understandable
A demystifier is a person or thing that makes something easier to understand by removing confusion, complexity, or an aura of mystery surrounding it.
The term often describes educators, writers, or explainers who translate technical or obscure subjects into accessible language.
She's a great demystifier of quantum physics.
Someone might also call a book or documentary a demystifier if it clarifies a previously bewildering topic.
