Think of the best teacher you've ever had. What did they teach, and what made them so special?

Actually, I think it was my English teacher. English isn’t my native language, so memorizing words and studying grammar has always been a real struggle for me ever since I was little. But back in elementary school, I had this amazing English teacher. She was probably in her mid-thirties, super gentle and warm, and I just loved sitting right next to her, listening to her tell English stories
