It uses 189 students who were in the upper six form. A questionnaire and interviews method for data collection were used. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as t-test, Pearson correlation, one-way and two-way ANOVA were applied. The results showed that the students preferred personal style of teaching approach of their teachers. However, their interest in the business studies subject was just moderate. There was no significance difference in terms of the preferred personal teaching styles based on the students&#146; gender.
