Favourite and Least Favourite Math Teachers

I still keep in touch with Ms. Chiang, my old high school math teacher. She's very friendly, supportive and caring. Her actions speak a lot on how much she cares for her students: she previously reached out to me to help tutor a student in her class because they were falling behind. I've also gone to her for advice and even talked to her about my undergrad math courses. She'd always get curious about the homework I'm working on and even want to try them herself which in turn influences me to try hard on them as well. That's why she's one of my biggest role models as a teacher; I hope to be as caring, supportive and passionate (about math) as she was to her students. 

Some characteristics of my least favourite math teacher would likely be the ones that were very lecture-y and monotonous in their teaching. I could tell they knew the material, but it was very boring. Thus, one of my goals as a math teacher is to make math lessons more fun, interactive and meaningful so that students understand there is meaning to what they're learning.
