Teachers' teaching styles play a crucial role in students' creativity. However, previous studies have focused only on variable-centered research methods that presuppose teachers to be of a particular type, which does not correspond to real-life contexts in which they teach. Therefore, this study will use a person-centered approach, latent profile analysis (LPA), to assess the impact of teachers' teaching styles on students' creativity. This study used cluster sampling with a sample of 367 primary school students to investigate the current status of teachers' teaching styles and students' creativity levels as perceived by the students from the student's point of view. The results showed that: (a) there were three subtypes of teachers' teaching styles perceived by primary school students, namely, Balanced, Traditional, and Diverse; (b) Compared to Traditional and Balanced teachers, Diverse teachers are more conducive to the development of students' creativity.
