There are many different types of teachers and most have there own styles and attitudes on teaching. When I was in high school I had one teacher in particular that really made an impact and had a huge effect on not only my grades but my liking for the subject. It just happened to be high school math, which is definitely not every ones favorite subject. But he had so much passion and love for the subject that he was able to portray it through his teaching. He not only made the subject fun and interesting, and made you want to learn it, he always put the time in to making sure you understood the concept. I went from math being my worst and least liked, to my best subject and my favorite subject!
This ties into the 3rd point under effective teaching, which is also labelled "effective teachers". He had all three parts; humour, made it interesting, and PCK -> Pedagogical Content Knowledge.
