Sample answer
Yes, I think that she is an excellent teacher because she smiles a lot and is easy to get along with, laughing with everyone. It is really important for students to enjoy a class and feel comfortable with the teacher.
Her lessons are always interesting and this helps the students to become involved. She is good at music. Teachers should be good at their subject.
She explains the theory patiently and doesn’t get angry if you don’t understand. Patience and good explanation skills are essential.
She always wants to know if she can help you. Some teachers are always willing to help and it makes students feel that they can approach the teacher for extra assistance.
If the class is too noisy or there are naughty students who don’t do their homework, she stops laughing and becomes strict so the students keep quiet and get on with their work. Being friendly is really important, but so is discipline.
Students don’t want to disappoint her so they do their best. This shows that she is a really good teacher.
