Summary/Abstract: The first part of this paper provides an overview of the preferred characteristics of teachers, starting from the personality traits up to the professional skills. The teacher realizes the goals and tasks of education, teaching and assisting students in the learning and improving their skills. The teacher is expected to have a number of skills such as: expertise, empathy, communication skills, integrity, responsibility, relaxation, the sense of humor, pedagogical tact, etc. The teacher is a person who creates the quality of instruction; he becomes an advisor, mentor, leader, organizer and collaborator in the educational work. The second part is an empirical survey, the results of which show that students of the 7th and 8th grades of primary school position the personality of the teacher rather high, even though they also attach a great importance to the impartiality of the teacher towards students and to a fair evaluation and grading of knowledge.
