Dear everyone,

I would like to know whether "being" is needed in the following sentences.

1. Besides being a good teacher, she is a great scholar.
1'. Besides a good teacher, she is a great scholar.
2. In addition to being a good teacher, she is a great scholar.
2'. In addition to a good teacher, she is a good scholar.

In each pair, which is better? Are both sentences equally correct (and
natural)?

Thanks in advance.
