What do you look for in a teacher?

Question

Description of your type of teacher.

Answer 1

Hi there, thanks for the question!

First and foremost, you want someone who can break down complex concepts into manageable pieces. The SAT Writing section isn't just about knowing grammar rules—it's about understanding how to apply them strategically and recognize patterns in the questions. A good teacher will help you develop this skill systematically, rather than just throwing rules at you.

In my experience working with students, the most effective teachers are the ones who can adapt their teaching style to how you learn best. Some students are visual learners and benefit from diagrams and markup techniques. Others learn better through examples and practice questions. The key is finding someone who takes the time to understand your learning style and tailors their approach accordingly.

You'll also want someone who can help you identify and focus on your specific areas for improvement. The SAT Writing section covers a lot of ground, from punctuation to rhetoric, and a good teacher will help you prioritize what to work on based on where you'll see the biggest score improvements.

Answer 2

Teaching is a skill. Some are developed and some are innate. High expectations are placed upon teachers and therefore, they are usually more scrutinized than any other professionals. One of the greatest expectations I have of a teacher is interpersonal skills. It is important that teachers build relationships with the students they teach, colleagues, parents, and the community they serve. They must be active listeners, flexible, adaptable to changes, and possess wit.

Personal qualities including patience,understanding, creativity, and greed for continuous personal growth and learning are important attributes of being a teacher. They must be knowledgeable in the content area in which they work and must be able to communicate such content with confidence and clarity. While high expectations are placed on a teacher, the teacher in turn should have high expectations for the students. There must be high standards set while employing the skills of empathy and emotional intelligence to ensure students' success.

Great teachers combine supportive, engaging, interpersonal skills, and personal qualities with inclusive learning environments that foster individual learning.

I want a teacher who is kind, patient, yet experienced in the strategies of creative, nonconformist thinkers. and , those who are one box fits all, I want a teach who hast the genuine gift of diplomacy, but who will risk his or her position to speak up to truth, fairness, and integrity and not just a follower. I want a teacher who understands failure but knows that giving up and quitting are not in her/his vocabulary. I want a teacher who won't harm others to save face, Anita.
