Tell your parents about how he/she acts in the classroom and how you think it reflects negatively on him/her, the class and the school and whether other people are uncomfortable in his presence. They can then take it up with the principal, PTA, school board etc. if they see fit.

Don't confront the teacher yourself about their behavior. Nobody will like a kid telling them that they think their teaching is awful or that they are unprofessional. That will make you an enemy right there and you may be treated unfairly or marked unfairly from then on by them.

Let your parents and other adults take care of this concern for you. If the teacher is doing something wrong other adults will come forward after your parents do and the principal and board will monitor the classroom to see if the teacher needs to be removed or not.

If you do this on your own or approach the principal on your own they're liable (as they blame kids/parents for all the problems) to be seen as a brat who has a beef over how they are graded etc. or something like that. With adults bringing up the concern you can bet it won't be swept under the rug easily at least.

Try talking to him, and tell him that his actions are not very profesional. Try to present this in a way where you do not put him on the defense. For instance say I feel like you are not acting like an instructor should. I feel as if you need to present yourself in a more professional way, for instance not be funny all the time, and be a little more serious. I would really benefit from this class more if you would present yourself in a serious matter instead of a young and niave way.
Try that, but the main thing is to talk to him about it because maybe he does not realize that he is acting as if he were five. Just remember that he is human and he i going to act out of line sometimes and needs to be reminded that he needs to act maturely in class.
hope this helps.
