If a teacher creates a passion for reading or studying in a student, it is a great favour of a teacher to the student. There will never be an obstacle for such a learner. The soul that has been breathed into him will blow away all the difficulties and sufferings. The famous scientist Andre Marei Amper (1775-1836) has explained this in these words.
[My father] never required me to study anything, but he knew how to inspire in me a desire to know. (Archimedes to Hawking, Clifford A_ Pickover, Oxford University Press, 2008, pg 214)
Beside it other attributes of the best teacher are as under:
A good teacher has the best individual character in society with a clean body, mind, dress & homeland. He has a healthy study taste, skilled in science and art, knows how to use the best time management. A thinker with a promising personality, aware of the problems and needs of the society, knows the art of imparting knowledge & not miserly in imparting it, an expert in the skill of character building, have a dedication to work & mission. Take interest in the subject he teaches, always adapt to new knowledge and new technology.
He is sincere to the student, attached to them, know the psychology, natural abilities and potential of the students. He positively highlights their abilities and teaches them according to their mental level. In other words, he teaches them difficult, & complex issues in a very simple way according to common sense.

Accountable for personal character, confident and not be confused, only a confident teacher can instill in students the courage to ask questions.
