I find to teach is extremely difficult. There is an underline sense of pressure a teacher must feel from a student. A good teacher allows a student to fail so the student learns how to search out their spirit and actually put a teacher's knowledge to use. A great teacher becomes a mentor...the person that student aspires to become.

The Teacher
"Sense their spirit"...the spirit of a teacher's knowledge guiding a student. To sense "what is" rather then "what the solution is." Kahn believes this is the first step in being able to find your opinion in the knowledge. This teacher is not a director of answers but rather a source of insight. Just as the student is learning the teacher is also learning.
