4. Passion
Teaching is all about passion. Teaching isn’t such a profession that is suitable for
all. It is appropriate only for the passionates. You need to have a strong passion
for teaching if you want to be a good teacher and this is the first and foremost
quality of a good teacher. Teaching is a challenging profession and these
challenges are totally different from others. Without being passionate about this
profession, you’ll lose your zeal and can’t enjoy it which will hinder you from
being a good teacher.

5. Communication skills
Just like other professions, teaching also needs good communication skills. And
communication skills are one of the most important qualities of a good teacher.
As a teacher, you have to deal with your colleagues, students, their guardians
and many more. Good communication skills will make your way easy to interact
with them. Besides, you need to have a strong communication skill to be
effective in your classroom. In your classroom, it’s more very important to
deliver things right so that your students can understand everything.
You may have strong subject knowledge. But if you can’t express it properly to
your students, there is no use of your knowledge as a teacher. In this case, you
need strong communication skills to deliver right what you know.

6. Listening skills
Besides a good communicator, a good teacher is also a good listener. As a teacher,
your duty isn’t only to stand in front of the class and deliver the topic. Listening
well is one of the most important skills needed to be a good teacher. You should
give your students spaces to talk, and listen to them what they want to express.
This will help you to create a good teacher-student rapport which is important
for both of you.

7. Friendly behavior
Another necessary quality of a good teacher is friendly behaviour. Being friendly
to your students creates trust and reliance among them. In a school or college,
nothing is more beautiful than a strong teacher-student relationship and without
having a friendly behavior, you can’t build that relationship with your students.

8. Adaption skills
Teaching is a constantly evolving profession and full of challenges. You may face
curriculum change, inclusions of new syllabuses, and different teaching methods
based on the authority’s demand. So, you need to cope with all of these changing
conditions. Hence, you need to have strong adaptation skills to be a good
teacher.

9. Patience
Patience is one of the most important qualities of a good teacher. As a teacher,
you have to deal with different students from different backgrounds and ages.
Each of them has different needs and characteristics and you’ll find it
challenging to address all of these. You may find some of your students aren’t
getting the things right and taking more time to understand a topic with
questioning repeatedly. Besides, some students can be indisciplined and cause
trouble in the class. After all, there can be many things that don’t go as you want
them.
So, you need to have strong patience to work under these conditions and this is
the behavior of a good teacher.

10. Collaborative
Teaching means you’re not working alone at all. There are a variety of tasks
where you need to collaborate with your fellows, students, and their guardians.
This can be from curriculum development to taking classes. So, you should have a
strong collaboration skill to be a good teacher.

11. Motivation skills
As a teacher, you need to keep your students motivated to stay on the right track
and achieve their best. Your motivation and inspiration will lead your students to
success, not only in their academic career but also in their every aspect of life.
Great teachers have this strong skill of motivation and inspiration.

12. Engaging capability
Good teachers have a strong engaging capability. They can easily engage the
students with their lessons. They present the subject in a way so that the
students can relate them with it and have a hand on experience. This is very
helpful in effective learning which is the goal of a good teacher. So, you should
have the capability to engage your students with the topic that you’re going to
teach them.

13. Perseverance
Last but not least, perseverance is one of the most essential qualities of a good
teacher. To be a good teacher, you have to be persistent with your goals. You
should devote yourself to continuous learning to develop more and more.
Because there is no end of learning even when you become a teacher yourself.
Actually, perseverance is the quality that will lead you to achieve other qualities.
So, you should have strong perseverance and willingness to learn to be a good
teacher.
