el maestro domina su materia

Hello, I hope someone can help me translate this:

El maestro domina su materia

My try: The teacher is good at his/her subject.
Also: The teacher is an expert

However, in Spanish that means that the teacher is good (el maestro es bueno) or an expert. I'm looking for something that in English refers to the teacher being in perfect control of the subject he or she teaches.

Thanks so much...

    Hola Elialore,

    Yo diría "The teacher masters his/her subject".

    Pero espera alguna otra sugerencia.

    Suerte,

    G.P.

    Totalmente de acuerdo con GP y SDLX:
    The teacher masters his/her subject.
    The teacher is a master of his/her subject.
     
    Thanks everybody for their inputs. It's all been really helpful. With the help of this forum I'm becoming an expert in English :)

    Well, maybe one day. Thank you.
