× She was very patient and kind, and she always helped me stay focus and concentrate on the English subject.
✓ She was very patient and kind, and she always helped me stay focused and concentrate on English.
The adjective 'focused' is required after 'stay' (verb + past participle/adjective), so 'stay focus' is incorrect. Also 'the English subject' is unnatural; use 'English' or 'the English language'. Suggest: 'stay focused' and 'concentrate on English'.
× No, I don't want to be a teacher because I don't have the patient for it.
✓ No, I don't want to be a teacher because I don't have the patience for it.
'Patient' is an adjective; the noun 'patience' is required here. Also 'the' before 'patient' would be wrong. Replace with the noun 'patience'.
× I prefer jobs that are more creative and flexible, while teaching sometimes may be stressing and demanding.
✓ I prefer jobs that are more creative and flexible, while teaching can sometimes be stressful and demanding.
Use the adjective 'stressful' instead of 'stressing' to describe 'teaching'. Also 'can sometimes be' is more natural than 'sometimes may be' though both are possible; change to 'can sometimes be' for clarity.
× After I graduate I lost connect information with most of them and I think some of them have retired or moved to other cities so it's difficult to stay connected.
✓ After I graduated I lost contact information for most of them, and I think some of them have retired or moved to other cities, so it's difficult to stay connected.
Tense should be past: 'After I graduated'. 'lost connect information' is incorrect: use 'lost contact information'. Preposition: 'contact information for most of them' is natural. Added commas for clarity.
× I think most of them were average and they didn't make any important effect on me.
✓ I think most of them were average and they didn't have any important effect on me.
Use the verb phrase 'have an effect on' rather than 'make an effect'. 'Make an effect' is incorrect collocation. Keep past tense 'didn't have' consistent with 'were'.
× Although she used some interesting examples to make the license fun.
✓ Although she used some interesting examples to make the lessons fun.
'License' is incorrect (wrong word). Context requires 'lessons'. The sentence is a fragment beginning with 'Although'; to be grammatical, either attach it to the previous sentence or remove 'Although'. Here corrected to a full sentence by removing 'Although' or keeping it connected: 'She used some interesting examples to make the lessons fun.'
× Both of them have a huge impact on me.
✓ Both of them had a huge impact on me.
Context refers to past teachers, so past tense 'had' is more appropriate than present 'have'. Alternatively, keep present if meaning ongoing impact: 'have had a huge impact'. Choose 'had' to match surrounding past-tense descriptions.
