As children settle back into school after the summer, many face a lot of change and new challenges. For a start, they will need to get to know new teachers and sometimes this takes a while.

Guardian writers have written about their best teachers, and now it’s your turn.
Maybe they transformed the way you see the world, or inspired you to love a certain subject. Some teachers you might remember because you hated them at the time, but now – years later – can see how much they actually taught you, and wish you could say thank-you to them (or even sorry for being such a terror).
