School and college are said to be times that are etched in our memories forever. While it is true that we make the most memories with our friends and peers, we cannot deny the role teachers play in making the journey a memorable one for us. But most students agree that a school faculty or even an international teacher has some particular traits that can classify them into a certain ‘type’. Here we mention five such popular types of teachers:
1. The cool teacher: In national and international college programs, we are bound to find the cool teacher. Students are usually in awe of the cool teacher. These types of teachers are wise, witty and can solve student problems like miracles, be it academic, professional or personal. They usually protect student interests at all costs and inspire students with their problem-solving approach to life.
2. The friendly teacher: In colleges or international schools, the friendly teacher is often the one that is closest in age to the students. They are well-versed with the student lingo, culture and trends and are extremely approachable. Students can freely open up to such types of teachers even with their personal concerns without the fear of judgment or reproach.
3. The concerned teacher: These types of teachers may well be bound to teaching in classroom, but their concerns travel far and wide for them! These teachers are typical overthinkers who can be concerned about anything under the sun – from a student’s academic progress to the escalation of global warming on the planet. Worrying is a part of their daily schedule.
4. The meticulous teacher: These types of teachers are extremely disciplined and quite diligent when it comes to teaching. They understand the importance of teacher education along with that of the student and come thoroughly prepared for lessons while constantly keeping themselves updated about the latest tools and technologies in education. They consistently evolve their teaching process to ensure the best way of imparting education.
5. The motivating teacher: These teachers are like life-coaches who constantly motivate students to do better. They guide students around obstacles and inspire them to come up with unique solutions to their problems by themselves. They may sometimes make academically high demands of students but only because they expect the best from them.
Whatever the types, we can safely say we are grateful for the different kinds of national or international teachers that came into our lives and enriched it with knowledge.
