Hi Sabrina:
I think the most obvious way a student relates to their teacher is by their personality. We can be the best at what we do, or have an awesome curriculum, but if our personality doesn't connect, falls, flat, is boing or offish in some way, the students will not benefit as much.
We want to be authentic - natural versions of ourselves and not some artificial version of someone else, as students will perceive that as insincere.
Regards, Barry
