Solution 1
Being a postgraduate in English Literature from the University of Mumbai, Ms Leticia D'Costa's passion for language is evident in her teaching. Three other teachers had already given up on our unruly class, but Ms D'Costa exhibited equanimity while dealing with us. Although we were initially sceptical, she won us over with her refreshing approach to teaching. She encouraged us to think critically in order to solve problems and stressed on punctuality. She helped the weak students to overcome their fears and helped them score well. Though it has only been a year, she is already my favourite teacher.
Solution 2
My Favourite Teacher
Our English teacher, Mrs. Rita Raman is one of the best teachers that I have ever come across. She graduated from Hindu College and then secured her B.Ed. degree from the University of Delhi. She is very friendly and charming. Her classes are extremely interesting. Instead of giving a monotonous lecture, she allows the students to speak and share their views. The students are never afraid to approach her. The best thing about Mrs. Raman is her punctuality. She never fails to complete the syllabus on time. Mrs. Raman gives special attention to the weaker students and motivates them to work hard. She is indeed a wonderful person.
