Essay On My Ap English Teacher
Teachers all learn different ways and all have different teaching abilities. Students all also have a specific way they learn. The two teachers that have made the biggest impact in my life were my AP English teacher Mrs. Fale and my Chemistry teacher Mr. Barrington. They both had great qualities I admired, including; great structure, willingness to help, patience, and kindness. My AP English teacher was understanding and helped me know exactly the format and what I needed to work on for my papers. Mr. Barrington, my Chemistry, on the other hand, loved when we would ask questions and teach our classmates, he was very hands on. Master teachers show technique and the ability to teach almost anyone. I had two phenomenal teachers who exhibited these qualities. They understand the student and are able to help them understand complex things. Jesus Christ our …show more content…
Fale, my AP English teacher is a master teacher because she knows what she is talking about and is able to explain it in a way that everyone understands her. Structure of her lessons was superb and made you think about what you were reading even if you didn’t like it. She was able to help me and others understand complex things in a very simple way. The kindness, patience, and her willingness to help make her an excellent master teacher. Master teachers exhibit those qualities I’ve listed plus more and she was one of the best examples I’ve had so far in my life.
Mr. Barrington, my Chemistry teacher took a bit of time to warm up to because he is a very sarcastic person. He emanated one really interesting quality that sets him apart, he had students teach others who didn’t understand and during labs he only wanted us to rely on our partner. He was very hands-on we played with soap bubble fire one day because he didn’t feel like teaching a lesson or having a lab. Kindness and patience were his two really big rules. Be kind to others in all you do and if you don’t have patience with your experiment will

    Memorable teachers are not the ones, who are the most pleasant to their students, but they are not the toughest ones either, they are the one that make you work for your knowledge, and you appreciate it, naturally much later in life. Mrs. Wright was very kind, compassionate, and honest no matter what the subject was or how she thought we were doing in school. She would always search for ways on how someone could improve. She has the skills to make you want to perform better, and continuously work to improve. This teacher had the passion to teach, and loved working with students, wonderful and necessary qualities to hold. She was eager to do whatever it took for a student to be successful, and to succeed in his or her classes. She always had a positive attitude, and strived for success. She would always say hello, ask about your day, tell you to have a wonderful day no matter what the day bring or crosses your path. She knew, and learn quickly that I have test anxiety, knew I always studied for hours on end, knew I knew the answers too, but once a test was placed before me, my mind would go blank, still does to a degree. She taught me some great testing strategies, ones that I still use day. This teacher was very inspirational, and gave you the courage to strive for success. Something I hope to match in my teaching…

    Looking back on my education, there are plenty of teachers that I felt were effective in getting me to learn material, but I will mention just two. Teacher A was my 8th grade and 10th grade math teacher. He didn’t necessarily make math easier in any way, but he made math much more fun because you looked forward to going to his class. Teacher A always used simple jokes, often requiring a very dry humor, which made me constantly pay attention in class so I could catch his different jokes. He also had the ability to demand respect in his class without ever really enforcing anything. He was simply such an amazing teacher that everyone respected his class and no one ever acted up. Teacher B, my 8th grade science teacher, also had a big impact on my education for the better. I enjoyed going to her classes because she was able to connect with me and a few of my friends on more of a personal level. She took an interest in our lives and made sure we were all on the path toward better futures. She, unlike Teacher A, demanded respect in her classroom in more of an authoritative way. Her students knew that if they acted up, she would not skip a beat to send them to the office, resulting in very few problems.…

    Teaching is one vocation that is hard to define if you look it up in the Oxford English dictionary a Teacher is defined as “A person who teaches, especially in a school”. This definition is very vague and leaves a lot of room for expansion on what a teacher actually is, on the other end of the scale Albert Einstein said “It is the supreme art of the Teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge” This quote gives more of an insight into what effective Teaching may be.…

    Mrs Dunlap Reflection

    By far, one of the best teachers I have ever had in all of my years of school, has been my eighth grade English teacher, Mrs. Dunlap. Before I had her class, I enjoyed English, and I enjoyed reading, but I still had struggles with it, and I was not that passionate about it. All of that changed, however, when Mrs. Dunlap was my English teacher. She was someone who truly cared about the subject that they taught- She was invested in every single piece of literature that she taught us, she explained grammar in a way that made it fun (For me, at least), and she was attentive to the learning needs of each and every student.…

    Everyone has that one teacher that they admired so much or made an enormous difference in their life. My teacher would have to be my high school orchestra teacher; his name is mr----. He helped me become a much better musician. Whenever I was struggling with a piece of music, he would take his time to help me in that section. With all his help, I became such a good player that I was placed as first chair for two years in a row! Of course, being first chair and all, you have to be a good leader to lead the section. At first, it was something that I struggled with, but Mr. Carpenter helped me do that as well by telling me how to handle many different situations.…

    1. If my memory serves my correct, “The Best Teacher” I remember is my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Hawthorne. She taught at Stamford Middle School in Stamford, CT. Mrs. Hawthorne was tough, patient, caring, and didn’t mind going that extra mile for any of her students education. Whether it was staying afterschool, coming to your house for parent-teacher conferences, or even buying school materials for students that couldn’t afford them. Mrs. Hawthorne, to me, was the definition of a GREAT teacher.…

    Based on my experience, I have met 5 kinds of teachers. First is a teacher that spoon-feeds his/her students with the knowledge and skills he/she has. Second is a teacher who terrorizes her students and pressures them to get high grades and to pass her subject. The third teacher is what I call, ‘the missing in action’ teacher. Why? Because he/she is always absent and usually assigns the class to do some reports about the next subject next meeting (this happens in undergraduate students but then I guess it’s a normal thing in graduate school.) The second to the last is a teacher who just reads her lectures in a power point presentation without adding anything to explain the topic further and lastly, the teacher with a long lasting energy, which makes the environment and learning, fun and enjoyable.…
