I'll start:

(What sort of group did you have in mind?)

Hi! I am not a teacher. Here's my two cents.


#1 the best of the bunch

#2 creme de la creme

creme de la creme - definition of creme de la creme by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

#3 class act

Thanks
I was thinking of "a number of techniques" when I said "group." I want to say "the best of all these techniques"

Regards
Susantha

As for a person in particular, I would say the leader, the captain, the tribal chief


Not a teacher at all, though
