A good teacher has to have energy, enthusiasm, understand children.
Someone that cares about the students. I don’t have a favourite teacher because
they’re all as nice. If you can actually, kind of like, get to
know them, talk to them. They’re nice, we learn new things from them.
They’re friendly. They plan their lessons ahead and they don’t
just make you work out of textbooks. Not just do the conventional writing.
Have lots of energy, lots of dedication, good sense of humour.
You can enjoy the lesson with them and they can be fun, but not too fun that you don’t
get any work to do. Looking specifically at what they’re interested
in, what you’re trying to tell them or what you’re trying to teach them and finding
the bridge between what you’re teaching them and what their interests are.
And just genuinely help everybody and not single anybody out who is like higher or lower
and treat everybody as if they are on one level.
What you really want are teachers who don’t give up on young people and pursue them to
get the absolute best of every single last one of them.
Someone you can have a laugh with really, I think, that’s the main thing. Make education
fun.
