Never Stop Learning
It has been said, 'Good teachers are born, not made.' Teaching is an art; like any art, it requires innate talent and dedicated practice and study to achieve its full potential. However, some artists are born with exceptional natural talent who need little practice or study to perfect their abilities, and there are teachers alike.

Company History
Unfortunately, most of us need to acquire the skills to be good and hopefully great teachers by learning various teaching styles to accommodate a variety of learning styles and student groups. Certain traits help people be good teachers, such as patience, willingness to help others, people skills, and the ability to communicate effectively and in various ways. It is also important that teachers continue to learn and take an active position in research and investigation in the art of pedagogy.
The best teachers are the ones who demonstrate a true passion for what they teach and a genuine interest in their students. They get excited about the material, look the students in the eyes, and are genuinely concerned whether the students understand what they are saying or not. They challenge students to think for themselves and become educated in various ways by asking questions, researching, and playing an active role in their education.
Good teachers offer a variety of activities to reach a variety of learning styles and maintain a classroom environment that makes the students feel comfortable and eager to learn. The best teachers take the time to get to know their students and make an effort to treat them like individuals, not just names on a roster.
A good teacher never stops learning and is always open to trying new techniques and 'tricks' of the trade. Each student is different from the last, and the excitement of reaching them and helping them learn something new keeps the passion for teaching alive. A good teacher has to love what they do to excel at it. Every new class you receive is like a new canvas, and you have to first observe, understand, imagine, and then begin to test the colors and, in union with the students, create a new work of art.
