I believe my biggest accomplishment has been my relationship with my students because I know I’ve made a lasting impression on them. The students I had taught came back after classes had finished to talk with me because they felt I took appreciation in them.

English isn't my first language

This sentence looks perfect to me.

I would remove the first "had". I am not entirely sure that it is wrong, but the sentence sounds better to me without it.

"The students I taught came back after classes had finished to talk with me because they felt I took appreciation in them."

@Englishishard11,
The correspondent Oralloy appears to be functionally illiterate and I'd completely discount his advice.

The first sentence contains two "I" two "my" and an "I've" and is consequently repetitive.

I'm adroit in establishing learning relationships and creating lasting impressions on students.

Our mutual understanding and appreciation is reflected in an openness to seeking and providing further guidance.

Which rule is this supposed to violate? Cite?

Whenever students stayed behind after lessons to talk to me it was because they wanted to talk about work, either an assignment set or one they had just been given back.

Students don’t stay behind after class because they think the teacher appreciates them.

@izzythepush,
I'm sorry you haven't developed that connection with your students yet.

@Lady Lingiton,
I'll be more mindful towards repetitive pronouns. Thank you.

@Englishishard11,
It beats living in a fantasy world andposting a lot of obvious bullshit that anyone can see right through.
