Shin_LoveLife gathers information from other youngsters on to build the Ten Characteristics That Makes An Awesome Teacher.
As we head to high school, college and even university, check the list for identify the awesome teachers in your place of learning. For the bad teachers, direct them to this post, to make them more awesome.
I decided the best way to express these characteristics would be by using cat gifs.
1. Patience
A patient teacher has a better chance of getting along with “difficult” children.
