No, what makes a teacher is teacher training.

Palali, Van Elk, Bolhaar & Rud (2018) found students taught by academics 
with good publication records got higher grades, but only for masters 
level students, not undergraduates.

Researchers have a very different university experience to the average 
student. Many genuinely want to help their students, but don't know what 
to do.

ps: I can relate to the average student, as I was a very average student
myself, recently of education (Worthington, 2016). ;-)
