QUALITIES OF A GOOD TEACHER

 

1.     Good teacher encourages the students to take risk and always has a positive attitude. Good teachers understand that errors will be made but they try many different methods of teaching that encourage students and create in them a sense of accomplishment.

2.     I think what makes a good teacher is to be alert to the necessities of your students and be able to give proper solution. It is also an effort to understand them in a personal levels but without losing your place.

3.     Good teacher also possess a deep knowledge of the subjects they teach and are able to manipulate. These teachers should have passion for the subject and they should be able to explain complicated and confusing information in a way that makes it understandable for the students.

4.     One important quality for a good teacher to have is to simply love teaching. You must love what you are doing, in the first place we are here as a second parent to them, as we are here to educate them.

5.     Patience – a good teacher should be able to sit patiently with a frustrated student and explain hot to come up with the solution to a difficult math problem or how to go about completing an assignment.

 

Patience and deep knowledge of the subject, as a teacher you have your knowledge; you have your own skills and your style of teaching. You need this quality to get your goal as a teacher. You need patience to motivate the student, to challenge them without pushing them beyond their comfort level. And never humiliate a student in front of his or her peers but rather they will comfort their student privately. And of course having knowledge of the subject, students are dependent to us, they believe everything we say. Everything we write on the board must be facts and explain in a every way for them to understand clearly.
