teachability
Openness to instruction
Teachability is the quality of being open to instruction and willing to learn.
It implies not just capacity but receptiveness—a teachable person accepts correction and adapts.
The term appears often in hiring and coaching contexts, where attitude matters as much as existing skill: We look for teachability over experience.
His teachability made him easy to mentor.
