Its a skill which is acquired through training and experience. However there are few individuals who are fifted teacher . Despite their gift they still need some training in order to face challenges of teaching in these modern times.

Teaching is a natural tendency. Mothers and fathers are our first teachers, It is an acquired skill in the sense of specialty. Otherwise, anyone can teach. Proper schooling in education and experience help the teacher become better equipped.  Some people are naturally more fluent and can better communicate than others so that in addition to the skills acquired makes a great mix. This is what I think schools generally look for.

No doubt some are special in some skills as it comes naturally to them. If teaching ability comes to one naturally he will be an excellent teacher with acquired teaching skills as it comes from training day today practices and experience. Same like how one cannot become an engineer or doctor without training and experience, one cannot be  a good teacher without training, experience and lessons learn in one's career about how to improve the methods to be more productive. Some are naturally talented to teach and make thing easy and understandable by their ability to explain things and to make it more interesting. When natural talent meets with training and experience it will make one an excellent teacher.
