The qualities of a Teacher

1.      A teacher should be live and attractive.

As far as the above-mentioned is concerned, the word “live” the teacher should have a smiling face. To put it simply, he or she should have a sense of humor that, probably, could uplift students at a time they are getting sick of the class. In the meantime, by the word “attractive” the teacher should act by means of speaking and behaving attractively – for some instance, if they feel discouraged, from teacher’s the way of speaking, they feel better. Also, they could correctly copy the way of teacher’s behaving.

2.      A teacher should be sympathy and tolerant.

As students come all walk of life, in the class there are variety of backgrounds and behaviors. At this point, the teacher should be willing to accept these. Together with, the teacher should tolerantly teach them in case they behave incorrectly. For example, they are disputing about the culture – the teacher should feel sympathy for them all, but the teacher has deliberate attempt to clarify that humans were born out of various social sphere.   

3.      A teacher should be intellectually and morally honest.

The teacher should not mean to trick students. If the teacher says something to them, he or she has to teach them the right things and direct them into the right path – because in the materialistic-oriented society, there are a lot of unforeseen hazardous circumstances that possibly lead them the wrong path.

4.      A teacher should be mentally alert.

It cannot be ruled out the possibility that students are not active and knowledgeable. They, sometimes, feel sleepy and are unaware of what is going on in the class: the teacher has to be prepared for that by promoting motivation or inspiration wisely and cleverly.

5.      A teacher should be capable of infinite patience.

While doing those-mentioned – including tense atmosphere in the class, the teacher should cleverly, wisely and thoughtfully solve the problems. He or she should not lose temper with the circumstances. For example, if students are fighting, teacher should talk frankly and privately with them. Then, when coming to the class, the teacher should play some games so that students can enjoy the class. Most importantly, it can be the place for tying relationship among them.

6.      A teacher should keep on learning.

As humans are not all perfect, they should be on learning. As I mentioned above – the students have different backgrounds, at the beginning of the class, the teacher should ask something related to their daily lives or about their backgrounds. This is the way of learning one another.
