What makes a teacher great? A teacher is someone who is honest and truthful. A teacher is like Jesus Christ because He knew everything about all of us. An excellent teacher is very intelligent and Gifted at the same time. A teacher is someone who is very helpful and understanding towards other people. A God-Fearing Man understands other God Fearing People. What made me a great teacher is the fact that I have taken the time to fully understand my students emotions and feelings. I am a great teacher because I have been a student at one point in my life. God Loves Me and I Love You.
