I had ZERO prior experience playing guitar but was tired of saying I wished my parents had put me in some sort of musical instrument lessons as a kid, so I finally decided to take matters into my own hands (and put a guitar in them). Despite Taylor's incredible skill level, he still managed to make little ol' novice me feel super comfortable. By the third 30 minute lesson, I played "Beat it" by Michael Jackson. He is sincerely a master at his craft and encompasses all of the attributes a teacher should carry.
