In my opinion, a positive teacher-student relationship requires transparency and conversation. In the beggining, it is important to set expectations for both sides. The teacher should understand the student's difficulties and strengths and be willing to help him to achieve his personal goals. The teacher should show himself available, to listen what the student has to say, and respect him as a person as well. On the other hand, the student should be trully interested in learning and growning. To build a good relationship with my supervisor, I was always showing her that I was interested in her research. The student has to pay attention to deadlines and meeting times, to listen the teacher's opinions and respect his experience. It is ok to disagree sometimes, but the key is to argument respectfully. As a student, one thing that I find usefull is to avoid going to my supervisor with problems without even think about possible solutions. I always try to think of different approaches to overcome the problen and then I'd go talk to meu supervisor.
