Compassion equals the love one shares for something. In teaching, I think it's important that the teacher have compassion for what they're teaching, as well as who they're are teaching to.
My own personal example of this kind of teacher is my youth symphony director. She has a wealth of knowledge about music and what it means to work as an ensemble. She always approached each member of the symphony as an individual. For example, every year she would would always send out holiday cards in december to every member of the symphony.
She was as passionate about music as she was her students. She gave us all the idea of creating art with the music. The way she taught us allowed us to share the art with the audience members.
When compassion for teaching, the subject matter, and for the students are combined, this can create an ideal teacher.
