What are the characteristics of a good teacher? Use reasons and examples to support your response.
It may differ from person to person and there are Numerous characteristic and qualities of a good teacher that are worthwhile to be discussed such as being sympathetic, have a sense of humor and class managing. However, from my point of view, one of the specific character traits that define a good teacher is being fair-minded. It is undoubtedly clear that discriminate between students is the worst manner towards students that they will feel soon. Further, a teacher must not trample on students’ interests and rights by his/her words or actions and Students must not be ridiculed. These kinds of demeanor, inevitably lead to a sense of “school anxiety”, with high probability of making them feel disappointed.
In my opinion, being less strong in teaching because of lack of teaching’s experience despite being well educated is possible. Therefore, a teacher aside from being knowledgeable enough in the field that he/she wants to teach, is expected to have enough experience in teaching. On the other hand, ability to transfer the information to student, distinguishing capabilities of students and making the complex subjects, understandable for them that a teacher should do, show that sufficient work experience is essential for teaching and has great impact on teaching’s approach.
I strongly believe that a good teacher should be interesting and lovable with regard to this point that these two qualities are highly effective to keep the student’s attentions. For instance, in high school I had an Arabic teacher with insufferable dry personality. He was always in a temper that we could not even talk to him let alone asking a question. Consequently, In spite of the fact that I was one the best student in my school, that class was like a sleeping pill for me because in that class I just napped, I always attended the class with wordless disgust at class’s atmosphere .
Moreover, a good teacher should have passion for teaching and should love teaching, not for making money, prestige, or glory. In other words, great teachers teach because of the fact that it brings them a joy feeling of having rewarding career. In fact, they feel they are contributing positively to the futures of others and this feeling brings about satisfaction.
To sum up, the most significant element that brings the best characteristics of a good teacher, lies in job satisfaction that leads to gain all those valuable qualities that are mentioned above.
