What makes a teacher great?
Is a teacher great? I feel the best teachers are the knowledgeable ones.
They know the subject, and they are willing to help you in any way possible, and they make the subject clear for you before moving on.
They are kind, and they make learning fun and worth the challenge.
They push you to your creative limits because they believe in you, and they want you out of your comfort zone.
They are friendly but professional, and their personality and humor make you remember them many years later.
A great teacher’s lessons stay with you for life, and I’m so glad I had some great teachers in my lifetime.

I wholeheartedly agree. I will add that the best teachers I have had applied principles to real-life strategies or scenarios to help me understand. This was especially helpful with mathematical formulas.
Yap. Very true. Alas, sometimes the lessons become part of us but we forget who taught them to us 😓
