I was reminded that enthusiasm of the instructor, being approachable when needed, making students accountable for their success are very important qualities for any instructor.
The confirmation of what I always enjoyed of my teachers was enthusiasm. Without that, a class can be about the most amazing subject but without a teacher to be able to sell it can be a snooze-fest.
I learnt that Empathy and support is needed for adult learners. Also, the most effective teachers motivate their students through clear communication and genuine passion for their subjects. They create safe spaces for mistakes and set high standard with supportive guidance.
