"My best English teacher...  

• encouraged others in the class to work with me
• encouraged me to try new things in a safe way
• allowed me to see my progress step by step
• respected my choices, but offered me opportunities
• didn't focus on me specifically
• noticed when I wasn't following and repeated the point
  
• didn't force me to join until I felt ready
• believed she would learn from me and become a better teacher
  
• believed I could learn English"
