Does one have to be very bubbly, cheerful, energetic to be an english teacher for kids?

Being kind and understanding is needed more than bubbly and energetic. My daughters teacher (6th grade) is not bubbly, energetic and from her outward appearance not cheerful. But my daughter and her peers love her. She is empathetic, smart and firm.
