Every teacher finds their own voice and style eventually - but it's not all about the teacher. Sometimes the teacher needs to become someone they are not in order to be able to help the student who needs the quieter touch. At other times we need to be full of energy and enthusiasm, when perhaps we don't feel like it, in order to energise our more lethargic students. The really important 'difference' in my view comes from the teacher being a different person for different people in different situations.
