If you hate the students in the class, that will project itself into your lectures no matter how hard to try for it not to. If the students in the class hate you they won't listen to what you are trying to say, no matter how relevant it is to them. Rapport is essential.
This is what most teachers over look but it will go a long way for a teacher to have good rapport with his/her learner in other for the student to be free to ask question(s) during and after class if any. The learner also develop confidence in his/her teacher that he/she can come to at anytime.
According to learning theory - behaviour modification refers to the technique or treatment procedure used to change behaviour by altering a person's current environment to help the person function better in everyday life (Pear & Martin, 2003). Behaviour modification focuses on using a principle of learning and cognition to understand and change people's behaviour. I believe, good rapport between teacher and student is one of the way to suit the above theory. Walahualam.
Rapport is critical in getting your messages across and in creating the needed readiness on the part of your students to begin to listen to you, leave alone accomplish other tasks.
Rapport between teacher and student is necessary for the accomplishment of educational outcomes. Education is a dual process of teaching and learning. The actors in this process must develop healthy mutual relationship to promote teaching and learning which invariably lead to the attainment of set objectives.

Rapport is important so that both the teacher and students "understand" and build trust in each other. To this end, praising effort and not intelligence can help students to strive to achieve their fullest potential as explained by this mind-set theorist: http://mereworth.kent.sch.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/growth_mindsets_dweck-praise-effort.pdf

One of the best remedy to punctuality, maximum respect and high achievement of students is the status of rapport between teachers and students. As a teacher, and a profession one of cause, I try to maintain good rapport between my students and I; and it has been a bane to students success in my class.
Very quickly, my experience tells me it is about the following factors:
Trust: Do the students trust the teacher to maintain effective control of the learning environment.
Respect: Do the students believe that the teacher and other students will respect their opinion and not use it as a opportunity to ridicule them.
Understanding the student: recognise that some students are not secure enough to propose/ start a discussion but are able to add comments once the discussion is started.
Expectation: the teacher has high expectations of all students and uses this to promote engagement.
How the teacher develops the student-teacher relationship is a long process of consistency and fairness, approachability and recognising individual needs.
