I have a couple of friends who are amazing teachers. One because she's very educated and experienced. One with a different education and experience, but she just has a natural ability to communicate effectively and engagingly.
I have graduate degrees in English and Education. 20+ years of teaching experience in the ESL classroom. The best teacher I ever met was a 20-something who had just graduated from college, never had a full-time job, no teaching experience or training of any kind. Observing him as his teacher-mentor at a language school in Japan, and subsequent feedback sessions, his approach and his insights easily surpassed other teachers in my experience. And the students unanimously loved him. He was just one of those people who had it.
Friend's daughter just graduated and got her first job - elementary special ed. With tears in her eyes, she said, "I'm so excited to teach i could cry." I envy that passion.
