What makes a teacher great?
A great teacher is not just someone who transmits knowledge, but someone who sparks curiosity, encourages independent thinking, and guides students to make connections beyond the classroom.
In our experience, great teaching starts with empathy and clarity. It means understanding where students are starting from—what motivates them, what confuses them—and meeting them there. It also means being passionate about the subject, and about the process of learning itself. Enthusiasm is contagious.
But just as important is creating an environment where students feel safe to ask questions, to make mistakes, and to grow. That’s where real learning happens—not just through lectures or textbooks, but through dialogue, engagement, and critical reflection.
Finally, a great teacher stays a student too: always learning, always improving, always listening.
