Famous teachers through History

Welcome to our historical Hall of Fame. Teacher appreciation is a widespread individual feeling, but the entire humankind owes a collective tribute of respect to these selected few teachers who made our species advance enormously. We are all indebted with these historical figures, although none of them can mean so much to you as your own teachers. We could of course include hundreds of other teachers who were important in their countries or internationally, but the ones below are a sample of the very best in human teaching since the most ancient ages up to our contemporary world. This section will help you to identify the greatest virtues in a teacher, and then use that information for your own teacher appreciation writings.
