Describe your favourite teacher of all time, and why they were your favourite!?

Question

Was it an elementary, high school teacher or college professor? What made this teacher stand out from all the others in your eyes?
What was the greatest thing you learned from her/him?

Answer 1

richard lyon- he was just a brilliant college tutor. he originally hailed from liverpool in england and he had this wonderful knack of being able to motivate students but in a laidback, down-to-earth way. i actually owe him a lot of gratitude for unearthing my writing and grammar skills, of which i'd always felt i never had the ability to do. since as when i left school at 16 with no qualifications to speak of, i felt at that time that that was it for me. but doing a study skills returners course at 18 back then gave me the confidence to realise that i could make and achieve something out of myself and alas, richard's feedback and encouragement gave me the imputus to carry on pursuing education, ever to this day. i am in my final year at university, and alas, i wouldn't have really got to this stage had it not been for richard's expertise and knowhow. he was able to detect my academic strengths and weaknesses, whilst acknowledging also my work efforts in class and suggest other ways for me to always improve and work further on my writing, particuarly essays.

the greatest thing i learned from him though is knowing that i could do it; that i could write essays, have a voice, to believe in myself. when i first arrived to commence on that returner's course, i was still young at 18, lacked confidence and motivation, within myself and i'd felt that i wanted to learn but its seems as if whenever i turned round a corner, when i'd believed that there was something there for me, when i got there and looked, it just wasn't there. fortunately, richard was there and he did a wonderful job: he was intelligent, respectful, honest and very friendly indeed.

when i graduate from university, next summer of next year at the age of 26, when i go and pick up my degree i will be honouring it to people like him. if it wasn't for richard, i just wouldn't be at university and alas, he has got me to where i am today and i am thankful to him for that .

thanks! i really enjoyed answering this question as it definitely made my day!

Answer 2

Definitely my primary school teacher: she was great and knew how to use a cane. Not keeping decimal points underneath each other: just a tap on the back of the hand: not hard enough so that you held it against her for the rest of your life but hard enough so that you knew that you had made a mistake. If teachers nowadays were like her standards in schools would be better.

I learnt the basics from her: the three Rs, which are the most important things.

Answer 3

I had many favourite teachers.

Looking back as an adult, I think Aisopos was a great teacher of nations over thousands of years. My mother and father were also good teachers, in a different way. My mother because she spoke and explained a lot. My father because he spoke very little, but what he said contained the deepest of Truth only a wise person can see. It took me decades to understand my father's statements from childhood, but I cherish them, since. I had a good teacher in my boss and colleague who renewed my faith in people after I lost it. Finally, my most important teacher is my Spirit Guide, who now speaks with me, and explained to me in Rational Spirituality all the questions I have ever had and no one else could ever answer.

Answer 4

I liked most of my teachers. Whether they liked me in return I don't know. But I had a great time in school and through college.

Answer 5

My college tutor back in 2001, he was great. He would sit and talk to you if you were struggling to understand. He would spend time ensuring that you got the highest grades and your ability to learn.

He was fab its a shame that i cant speak for all my previous teachers when i attended school.

Answer 6

my favourite teacher of all time was my own father, he taught me to read and write when others had given up, probably the greatest gift anyone has ever given me

Answer 7

My renowned instructor became my track instructor senior year. regrettably, he in basic terms got here to our college that year so I in basic terms had him then. he remains there, changing up the track software and stuff. he's a sprint Italian guy, he performs guitar and piano particularly properly (exceedingly piano), he's an extraordinary singer. he's very attracted to musical theater (that's his solid point) very such as the stereotypical gay track instructor. he's a sweetheart and he particularly cares approximately his scholars. He took it complicated whilst human beings did no longer like him for the time of his first year, yet he's in plenty greater administration now over the refrain than he became then. He became there for me the entire year and that i became waiting to help him take care of the refrain.

Answer 8

Mrs. Chudleigh, 4th grade teacher, 1986, Villawood Primary School, Sydney, Australia. taught me that writing poetry was not 'girly'. taught me how to communicate openly, without fear of being ridiculed for sharing my feelings.

Answer 9

My own Mother who taught me to read, the teachers at my school were a bunch of stupid liberal hippy types who couldn't be bothered to teach properly.

Answer 10

Mrs. Billie Maxwell. she was my 8th grade history teacher. I never knew a thing about history and i moved to a new school and everyone was mean and unfriendly so i was crying one day and she asked me what was wrong and huged me to comfort me . Also she taught me alot about history.
