What Makes a Good Teacher?

In this deep-dive, solo episode, Hannah Macintyre finally rounds out her popular “development themes” series with a big question: what actually makes a good mediumship teacher? With honesty, humour, and plenty of real-world examples, she reflects on her own journey as both student and teacher—and lays it all out for anyone seeking support in their spiritual growth.

This thoughtful and empowering episode explores:

• Why you must know what you want before choosing a teacher (and how to get clear!)
• The problem with fluff, vagueness, and signing up for the wrong development circles
• Why your teacher should demonstrate their own mediumship—and not just talk the talk
• The danger of “guru” energy, withholding knowledge, and spiritual gatekeeping
• Personal stories of support… and sabotage—from both sides of the teaching coin
• The importance of pushing students lovingly out of their comfort zone
• What makes a circle safe, expansive, and truly growth-oriented
• Why personalized feedback is essential—and what real feedback looks like
• Red flags in the teaching world: from endless upselling to falling asleep during class (!)
• The difference between empowering teaching and ego-led performance

Whether you’re looking for a mentor, reflecting on your own teaching style, or stuck in a course that’s just not working for you, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and permission to trust your instincts.
