With as many word suggestions as possible, what words can you use to describe a person who makes fun of someone for being new to something or learning?
Like for example, being shamed for asking questions or riding a bike for the first time or making a mistake or just not understanding something yet
Ignorance comes to mind but it's not specific enough..
Please help me out

Consider mocking:
(Macmillan Dictionary)
Or sneerer:
(WordNet)
Depending on the context, elitist might fit as well. An elitist community may flaunt its superiority by being unfriendly or mean to newcomers (hence sneer at their questions, ridicule, etc.).
