My most significant teacher has unmatched enthusiasm for the works he was teaching.Certain sentences, phrases, and words were sometimes spoken out loud, in slow timbre, or with an haunting voice that produces such a great affect. After reading a heart breaking poem, for instance, he said in a low and clear voice "these are the types of work that lasts forever."So it would seem that he the work the selected works he chose were done so with very serious consideration.
He was also very patient. In fact, he is the most patient teacher I've ever had. He would come in on days off and schedule a meeting with every student to make sure that they are all on the same level he wants them to be.
He carries an air of severity. It is obvious that talking to him like a regular person with out of the question. These are what made him very significant to me.
Great experience to have known such a wonderful and dedicated teacher.
