Favourite teacher essay in English

 

How to Describe My Favourite Teacher in English? 

I'm a student of class 12.

People call me Suresh Kumar. The name of my school is Saliha Maryam English Medium School. There are 10 teachers in the school in total. The teacher I like most is Kiran Kumar. 

Kiran sir owns many good qualities. He is an ideal man. He believes in simple living and high thinking. He is an early riser. He comes to the class prepared, and he is never late. He is a master of arts in English. He teaches us English literature. He explains lessons in such a way that everyone understands very easily. He has such a pleasing personality that no one cuts class in his period. As soon as he comes to the class, the whole class becomes so eager beaver that whenever he asks a question, everyone tries to be the first to answer. So he never draws a blank when he shoots any question at anyone in the class. Sports and games are the best exercises for young people like us. So he always motivates us to take part in sports and games. He has good communication skills. He is the great president of the debate society of our school. 

I really admire him for his contribution to the school. He has a great influence on my behaviour. It's because of his influence that I've become an early riser. I've never played hooky. I've never missed out on any lesson. 

Teachers like Kiran sir are found once in a blue moon. Such teachers make students' future bright, and their students are really lucky.
