Being a teacher is also not an easy job. Being a good teacher is not enough just to rely on a teacher's diploma. Being a good teacher should undergo various processes. Being a good teacher must also have a strong mentality. Therefore I want to share some tips to become a good teacher.
Do not stop learning
Being an educator or teacher does not mean you are smart enough. Science in this world will not be exhausted. Science continues to grow. Therefore a good teacher should continue to learn that deepens his knowledge. Good teachers will willingly attend various seminars to be able to increase their knowledge.Being an example
A teacher is not just a subject teacher. A teacher is not just an orator in front of the class. A good teacher or educator is a model. He became an example and an example for his students. Therefore it is fitting that teachers display good character and can be an example for their students.Be patient
Teachers or educating need strong patience. The teacher must be patient and mentally steeled. He must be able to deal with various circumstances. He must be able to control himself in front of his students. Thus the teacher will be respected by his students.Establish relationships
Being a teacher is not to be a dictator in front of a class. Being a teacher must be very democratic. By establishing good relationships with students then they will feel comfortable.

Good article Iqbal. One more point I would like to add to the list is - teacher should have compassion, this is something most of the teachers lack in current generation. This will help understand the student's struggle with studies, and in a way being compassionate will ward off standard frustration that every teacher goes through. Compassion is the one medium that connects with the students directly, this will open up the window for aiding student's hardship in understanding particular concepts.
