During a virtual classroom visit, Justin Trudeau's teaching skills were out in full force and he seemed so happy about it.

Grade 6 students at Rocky Lake Elementary School in Bedford, Nova Scotia were joined by the prime minister on their classroom Zoom call on June 21, and they got to ask Canada's leader a bunch of questions.

The school said that when he answered questions during the call, Trudeau showed that "he's still got the teacher in him!"

"I've often said there's no such thing as a former teacher - once a teacher, always a teacher," he tweeted a day after the virtual visit. "Thanks for indulging me."

Earlier this year, Trudeau revealed that classroom visits are his favourite meetings because he used to be a teacher. He worked as a supply and then a full-time teacher in Vancouver, educating students on subjects like math, drama and French.
