I've had a few amazing teachers....a French teacher in high school, a Math teacher in high school and another Math teacher in college. All would be classified in my opinion, as very patient teachers who loved teaching. None have any idea how much I appreciated them....students don't think to tell them such a thing.     :(

Gymshoe Jamieson, very strict but interesting maths teacher, made maths fun, I still do math in my head the exact way he taught me.

If you were bad or "forgot" your home work he would make you bend over, draw a chalk X on your a$$, draw a chalk X on a gymshoe and keep walloping you until he got both Xs matching (hence the nickname), strict disciplinarian but a great teacher.

Mr. Kemper, my 12th grade math teacher from Tennessee.  He hoisted me up by my shirt, and gave me the lecture about having "no shoes until he went to grade school".  This after my answer that "I could not afford to attend college", when he asked me.   He then threatened me with bodily harm, if I failed to submit an application to a college.  I did so, fearing his follow through, and when I took it to the Guidance Office, there was an envelope waiting, in it was a check from Mr. Kemper for the application fee.  I returned to visit him two years later, to discover that he had passed away from cancer.  RIP, Mr. Kemper...

I had a teacher named Dr. Rosenberg. He taught behavior modification at a four year university.  He had a large class, about 75 students.  I told everybody to take his class after my first semester with him. The second class I took, on the last day of school, at the end of the class, nobody got up to leave.  They just clapped and would not leave the class, for a while.  He was a great teacher. Another great teacher was Mr. Polansky at San Mateo Jr. College.  He scared everybody. After I registered in his class, I heard how awful and hard he was.  I tried to drop that class before I saw him, but it was too late. I worked hard in his class. I was impressed with him because he had a real passion for political science (his topic), and people.  He had travelled all over the world, and made many comparisons about different people and areas.  Turned out he was fabulous and a great teacher but hard.  One more, this teacher taught social psychology. His name was Gordan Knight and he was working on his PhD at Stanford University, although this class was at the College of San Mateo. He was another one that had a passion for learning and teaching.  i'll never forget, he had shoulder length straight blond hair. He wore clod shoes and he taught with humor. I will never forget this man. He has inspired me my whole life, mainly to look for what really is. one of his examples: if you work for a company, there is a flow chart, showing who has the power and who does what. the paper he asked us to write was about that flow chart, however, also you have to analyze, who really has the power and who really makes things happen and work hard too.  who do the other employees really look up to as powerful with leadership skills.  He was dead serious about his topics, but he also tickled his self, during his great and magnificent lectures.
