Describe a teacher from the past whom you remember. v. 1
Describe a teacher from the past whom you remember. You should say: what subject the teacher taught you how old you were then what were some special characteristics of this teacher and explain why you remember this teacher.   Model Answer 1: I have been lucky enough to have several great teachers when growing up as a student, and I remember all of their contributions in helping me become the person I am today. However, I would like to specifically mention about one teacher here today whom I remember a bit more than others. It was about 14 years ago, and I was about a 13 years old high school student – a high school student who hated math. In fact, I found math to be so difficult that I sometimes even pretended to be sick to my parents in order to skip the class. Of course, I had tried all my best to perform better in this difficult subject, but I could get was just a passing score in the test. But, all that changed when Mr Rajon Seikh had joined our high school as a math teacher. By the way, he didn’t look like a very smart person to me to become a math teacher, even though he was quite qualified.   Anyway, Mr Rajon gave us a brief lecture to us about the math lesson, and I must say that I was pretty amazed at his level of confidence. In fact, he assured us that if we all paid attention to his class for only about 30 minutes every day for about 6 months, he would make us the math experts. He also told us that he didn’t come to teach us, but rather he had come to create a mindset in us to learn mathematics easily and quickly. So, his lessons started, and to my pleasant surprise, math suddenly started to make sense to me. In fact, I grew so confident in the next 6 months, I felt like I could actually get a top score in math. Anyway, I remember this teacher because he had all the tricks in his armoury of math teaching in order to arouse interest in the minds of his students quickly. Besides, it was him, who had given me the confidence to do better not only in math but also in other classes.
