Q231. What are the most important qualities of a good teacher ?
A. Sample Answer
I believe there are two important qualities that every good teacher possesses. The very first of
those is patience. In today’s society, is seems like students are continually becoming more
disrespectful towards the teachers. A good teacher is aware of this and will try to be as patient as
possible with the students. If a teacher blew up each time a student did something disrespectful,
nothing would ever get done in the classroom. This also would not be good for the teacher’s health.
A good teacher needs the patience to let some things slide while addressing other situations as
calmly as possible. A second important quality a teacher should possess is the capability of relating
to his students. Teachers have the task of teaching difficult concepts to students. The easiest way for
students to grasp these concepts is by getting examples that they can understand. If a teacher can
explain things using pop culture references or simpler terms, the students will be able to better
comprehend what is being taught to them. To sum up, in order for a teacher to be successful, he must
be patient and able to relate to his students.
