No teacher has ever, so far, utterly revolutionised my life. There's no single favourite who jumps to mind, and only one or two I have passionately hated. The ones I admire are more for their personality and their understanding of me rather than their ability to teach me things. My personality makes it hard for me to build a personal relationship with any teachers, so the ones that have managed to do that, of which there are three or four, are my favourites.
"No teacher has ever, so far, utterly revolutionised my life."
No, I tell a lie. Mr. G, who taught me maths, wasn't just a teacher of maths but a teacher of life skills generally. Sometimes he'd take whole chunks of lessons and just tell us about life, and gave my life a new perspective. He left school when I was 14; I think I would have got on a lot better with him if I had known him when I was a little bit older. As it was, when I had him I was too insular to talk to teachers at all. He started working in games development, I think - or something like that - after teaching, and he appeared on the TV news once and talked about maths.
