    they don't presume you understand, and they check to see if you do.

    They can explain concepts without feeling the need to burden you with 20 sheets per topic.

    If your lucky and you get a nice one, they'll treat you like a human being and not just another uniform, esp where maths and the like is concerned.

    You won't get the "this is so simple, why don't you get it?" look.

    I've been giving physics grinds for years now, and I try to get understanding across. I believe that if you can teach someone a fundamental concept somehow, they'll never forget it, even in an exam.

    Infinite patience is also required because some concepts are hard for some people. And be willing to show lots of worked examples, because that's one way that's very easy for people to learn.
