Reaching out to the students knowing their expectation.This can be taken care of by considering your own expectations as a student.
Making the subject easy. This is the skill which requires a lot of creativity. So, yes creativity in teaching is one very important skill. For example if I say 2 + 2 = 4 and 2 toffees + 2 toffees is 4 toffees. Both conveys addition operation but 2 + 2 doesn't give you the effortless imagination of anything, where as toffees do. So, it's important that you add little little creative spice here and there which mainly helps students imagine the practicality of the problem.
Lastly, no matter how great a teacher you become. You should look approachable. Students should feel comfortable to ask you their doubts without a fear. That's the kind of environment you can set only through your humanity and readiness in accepting each student the way the are, irrespective of their level of knowledge.
As a teacher, your achievements should always count on the achievements of your students. Specially the ones who once thought they cannot do it.
