Do you have a favourite teacher?

[Eric]

If yes, who was it and why? What subject did he teach?

I like my Maths teacher simply because of his strong commitment to teaching. He made an effort to prepare extra maths exercises especially for weaker students and spent his sat and sun mornings to provide extra classes, giving attention to the weaker ones.
And he's also a pretty down to earth guy even tho he has quite a bad temper

[Aiden]

My PD teacher. She likes to make everything a joke but I think she does it in a way which isn't annoying. She also comes across really passionate about what she does.

[geo]

either my film teacher or my media teacher

my film teacher is clearly so passionate about what he does and it's just amazing.. sometimes. like he (usually) really gets points across, as well as encouraging everyone to form their own opinion, rather than fall back on his or somebody else's (which is v good for the exam too!!)
he's also kinda funny, and doesn't take himself too seriously. it's just a great atmosphere in class with him most of the time. the only problem is he can often seem a little too opinionated, and dismisses others opinions if he's in a bad mood. also been very supportive to me.

media teacher is just great. like she's a very good teacher, gets through work quickly but makes sure everybody understands it and tries to involve everybody in the class! she's also been extremely supportive towards me, like honestly never thought a teacher would have been able to have given me so much support and encouragement. also is funny, like me and her get along well imo and we can always have a good chat. it's awesome. i didn't expect to get along with teachers this well

also very lucky that these 2 teachers will be on the LA trip w me next yr!

got two really

my physics teacher is a really hilarious scottish guy who me and my best mate absolutely adore, he just sits there making fun of the crap people in the class so much but is also just a really amazing teacher

my maths teacher who teaches me stats, he is really serious about the stuff but still knows how to have a laugh and is so passionate about it and just makes us all love the subject tbh (even the ones who hated stats previously)

if including teachers i've had in the past too, then my maths teacher last year was the most lovely woman i've ever met tbh and made maths so interesting, and was the one who made me confident enough in my maths abilities to apply for cambridge, which i'm glad she did now i have an offer and everything

[Sian]

my secondary school history teacher, she was a lovely woman but you'd never mess with her, plus very good at teaching history!

[Red]

My history teacher who was lovely and always went extra mile for all his students. He was really passionate about the subject too. He even wrote me a letter when I graduated Uni saying really lovely things!

[Kyle]

I have faves for every level. In 1highschool my art teacher who was also my form tutor. she was lovely and always said nice things about me to my parents, said I was talented and she knows I would go far. then she died of heart complications in her mid 20s and all my other teachers were just boring. I guess I liked my english teacher because he had an australian accent and really got me into reading.

at sixth form it was my psychology teacher. he was the classic decrepit-old-weirdo-professor type and most lessons consisted of him letting us do research and memory tests on eachother. he had a huge tie collection and would often change ties half way through the lesson just to see if anyone noticed. he called me the memory man.

I continued my a levels at college and found a new fave there, my sociology and personal tutor. she was a socialist and would always express her hatred for thatcher and the daily mail. I liked her cos she reminded me of my grandma and she put extreme effort into helping all of her students. she was really good at predicting exam qs as well.

and now at university my favourite is a 50+ lesbian that calls her students "kids" despite some being 30+ and really gets in there when it comes to discussing readings. she introduced me to the genius of erving goffman, she's hilarious and I love her.

[Alkaz]

Whilst I was at school I did yeah, my business studies teacher as well as my art teacher. At college I didn't really have a favourite as I only had two lecturers anyway, same with uni.

[lemons]

[karter]

my hospitality teacher was so good - she was like a best friend that remained professional. She was really easy going but strict at the same time. Funnily enough, my best grade came from her class.

[Zak]

I used to like my short-course RE teacher because all she would make us do is watch videos :P

[Shar]

I can't even remember who they were...probably my D&T teacher, she was lovely.

[Ailurus]

Primary School: Miss Hancock in my first school, and Mr Pearce in my second.

Secondary School: Mr Miles my Chemistry teacher and Madame Benson my French teacher,

Sixth Form: Miss Pedder my Psychology teacher.

University: Denise. She taught me for my Conservation, Habitat Legislation and Animal Diet modules.

[myles]

yh my current french teacher is amazing i think she has really helped me develop my knowledge of thje language in the past 6 months

[Cerinacy$]

My previous lecturer at college was amazing, she taught IT for Business and she really knew her stuff and could be earning thousands of pounds a day at a top end company developing systems etc. and designing websites, she just loves teaching which is why she teaches. Really lucky to have her at the college actually!

[-:Undertaker:-]

My Science teacher in Year 8.... old fella, knew and could talk to you on any subject.

Sadly he died (https://www.facebook.com/pages/RIP-Mr-Mercer/280623155357851?fref=ts) in my last year of Sixth Form. He's what made me want to teach. RIP. :(

In Primary School however, my favourite teacher was a teacher I had in Year 4... she taught me to love reading and ever since then I owe pretty much everything I know to her. Prior to that, I was pretty much at the bottom of the class and struggled in education. Happy to say that she's fine and well and she retired last September to spend more time with her new-born grandchild. :)

Philosophy and Chemistry

[Liva]

My graphic design teacher is pretty good. He sucks slightly at remembering things, he's a bit slow to catch onto whether people are taking the piss out of him but he genuinely cares and tries to help you out. He's made sure on several occasions that I'm okay with doing certain things because of my anxiety. :)

And my maths teacher last year, it frustrated me so much when people would talk while he was. I wish he got more respect because he is trying to help you...

[!x!dude!x!2]

My grade 2 teacher back when i lived in the city . her name is Ms Allen . she was the best . i loved her so much she was so nice and caring and loved to have fun with us

[UnrealGoffEmo]

Any Teach who goies easy oin me and appreciates my work effort or don't clock me me for wrong Uniform is my fave and get's my vote Lol. Basically anyone who is firm but fair!

[Daltron]

yes my constitutional law tutor is so old and chilled, and gives everyone a 10/10 for participation mark even if we don't say a word the entire semester

[Matt]

Nah I hate the all equally as much. The only teacher I liked was my English teacher in Year 11

[Empired]

My media teacher! I've never seen someone who enjoys their subject so much before and it's clear that he loves teaching too. It's still so nice to see some teachers aren't bothered about the paperwork behind teaching, but are more interested in the people they're teaching instead.

[dbgtz]

I'd say if we're talking right now, no uni lecturer except one seems to actually give a stuff about us as individuals so I'd say he is my favourite in that regard.

Overall? It kind of depends. My 2nd year college maths teacher, well I didn't really get along with him too well but as a teacher he was pretty good. He tried to make things interesting & easier to remember and was honestly just so well organised compared to some other teachers. On the flip side was my law teacher who got on so well with people and was able to have a laugh whilst teaching, but didn't particularly make the content as interesting and memorable as it could be and wasn't so organised. Also, one of my 2nd year politics teachers (and my tutor) was so helpful in what she did, despite joking about hating kids and whatnot. You could tell she wanted us all to succeed and do well in life, doing as much for her students as possible.

I could go on about my secondary school teachers, like the scary teacher who wasn't scary at all in reality, but just applied the right attitude necessary to the situation and was actually a pretty good teacher. Or my tutor for 4/5 years who was really fair in how he treated people. Or one P.E. teacher who didn't stand up to stereotype of all other P.E. teachers (and actually taught us stuff rather than expected us to just magically learn). Or... well you get the point. In all honesty, I've had to many good teachers that I don't think I could ever pinpoint one who trumped the others as they're all pretty decent.

I can say who my worst was. My year 9 french teacher; she was a right *****.

[Shockwave.2CC]

Nope I never had a favourite teacher, because all the kids us to misbehave, so all us well behaved kids use to be treated like the others

[Mark]

I really liked my English teacher whom I still speak to quite frequently after leaving. I also liked my Physics and Modern Studies (politics more or less) teachers.
