What makes a good teacher...
It is not only about knowing as much as you can on your subject matter, but also learning to treat your students as humans and not as sponges that are going to absorb everything you "teach"
It is also a matter of putting yourself into your students' shoes so that you can have a clearer idea of how your students perceive reality. Therefore, your are going to be able to identify learning styles, preferences, and even difficulties.
Likewise, it is also a matter of bearing difficulties all along the path of spreading knowledge to human beings. There are harmful situations, unexpected events, and unpleasant people. However, as long as you love what you do, those "obstacles" will push you ahead so that you live, grow, and gain experience.
I really like it when you mention the human part that we should have as teachers, I have always said it and you know it, we must not only be seen as the teacher and now, we are also human and there is nothing more beautiful than being even a good friend to their students, so not only are they motivated but the learning transcends.
