“The best teachers teach from the Heart not from the book”

“A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others”. —Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Definitely that quotation is really true.

Since my childhood I wanted to become a teacher. I had the best, kind and helpful teachers and I wanted to be like them. After all, the best teacher is that one, who can teach from the Heart not from the book. For 29 years I have been teaching my children English. Before teaching the teacher must love his profession and, of course, his students. And only such unity can bring the results. So I can tell with all my heart I love my students, who learn with me the ins and outs of the English language.

Teaching is both an art and science. The best teacher teaches from the heart. Some teacher only teaches because it is their profession or career and they are obliged to do their duty. But the best teacher is someone who care what their students learn because that matters to them. Being teacher is a hard job. Lots of patience is important and passion too. teacher job needs a lot of patience, and the role played by the teacher in a child's life is very significant.

I think the best teacher is the teacher who makes his students close to him, respect him but not afraid of him. All teachers have different means and methods to exposing their students to what they have to teach them. Not everything can be learned solely from a book. Experience is a great teacher and what a person carries in their heart can be one of the best experiences to express to the world. There are many ways to teach and it doesn't have to stop at the written word and experienced teachers can share so many things apart from what is in the text.

The job of a teacher is not just to teach a student academically but mentally and emotionally as well. A teacher essentially teaches his students manners, attitude and way of living among others. He also assumes the responsibility of a leader, leading his pupils towards light. You can have the best education in the world and you can be a great teacher, but if your heart isn’t in it, the kids know. In order to truly reach kids or even adult students you need to form a positive rapport with them- that means a sense of trust needs to be established- an emotional component has to be involved, in my own opinion, or else you do not create an individual relationship with that person.

The best teachers are those who are able to teach each child. Not label them, not do it by the books, are not going for the great records. The best teachers are those who are creative, able to explain the same subject in 20 different ways if necessary till the message is clear.

My favorite part is singing during a lesson, although I don’t sing well. However, showing students a short video of their favorite song makes them light up. I also love to bring out my inner child during class. It’s so much fun to be goofy with the kids. I also use exaggerated expressions and voices to make each class livelier.  The parents love to see their children happy and having fun in English class. I get to laugh and learn for hours a day. I don’t think anyone could ask for a better career. To bring up honest and kind children, to bring up a “good man” in any circumstances should be a person who sincerely, deeply, without doubts, believes that all the strength and the whole mind of the world is kindness and honesty, love and conscience. Love and conscience rule the world. And these are not pompous words; a living heart of upbringing beats in them. So let my dear colleagues light a fire in the hearts of our students!
