Abstract

 Education is a vital aspect of our lives, and the most essential components of this series are the teachers. The purpose of this literature review is to identify and analyze three fundamental qualities a good teacher should possess. According to the study conducted, the three most important characteristics of a great teacher are passion, commitment, and role modeling. In previous studies, scholars have dealt with these characteristics in a variety of ways; however, there is no study that provides them all together. As a result of the study, teachers who possess these traits can touch the hearts of their students and determine the future of a nation.
