I guess, a teacher's punctuality & hard working attitude matter the most for the students. No doubt, other qualities are also there but after these two.
A good teacher should have qualities of patience, be a good listener and communicator, show empathy, have a passion for teaching and lifelong love of learning.
having the ability to impart knowledge to student is the part and parcel of teaching. in addition, possessing suffuse knowledge of English can greatly impress students since they can trust teachers in all facets of their learning process. finally, patience is something that all teachers need to have in order to be loved by students as not all students are intelligent and hardworking enough to absorb the materials after its first presentation

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
