Therefore, education entails teaching and learning for teaching and learning to take place there must be teachers and the learners to be taught. So, the effective teaching can be done by a trained person called the teacher. In our society today, teaching is been handled properly by trained people (teachers) who are educationally and morally trained these people called teachers perform their job effectively, they make sure that they come to school before the students or pupils arrives the teacher also establishes the role of hosting the students/pupils into the classroom, get them sited and starting the days work. During teaching, the teacher try as much as possible to interest the pupils in the subject he/she teaches and this undoubtedly increase the desire or motivation on the part of the students to struggle harder.

The manner in which a teacher addresses a class reflects an attitude and conveys a message not only through what is said but also through how it is said.
