I read all of "I Am That" and I found Nisargadatta to be an exceptional teacher. Though I can only rememeber a few details they have stayed with me. I have a lot of admiration.
His presence strong while being perfectly adjusted to the student who he was adressing. Where they were stubborn he ignored their antics and got straight to the point, with unwavering force but without being defensive or agressive. Where they were insecure he was patient and asked them questions and listened intently so that he could guide them thoughtfully.
Some highlights as I recall:
In summary when asked how he became enlightened, he said "I did what my teacher told me to do".
When asked what was required from a student in general and in case they did not have a teacher, "The most important thing is earnestness. That is all you need."
