Re: Great Teachers/Great Players

I have heard that Lorin Levee was not much of a teacher because he couldn't understand why anything was ever hard for anyone. It had all come easily to him since he was a child. This is a story from one former student of his, so take it as anecdotal.

To be a great teacher one must actually be interested in teaching, and in helping people one at a time. It also helps to have some talent for it and to be willing to work at getting better at it over time. Not all great players are going to be great teachers and vice versa. It's something for every student to be cognizant of.
