Q: How would you reply to 'sorry', please

Hi teachers, 

I'd like to ask you how I should reply to "sorry" if I really wish to, please. 

For example, if somebody says "sorry" to me for something and If I wish to make them feel that they haven't done any big mistake and it's alright, then what sort of expressions or sentences could I use/say, please?

Thank you all.

Here are some stock expressions: No need to be sorry. Apologies are not necessary. That's OK.

Thanks, teacher. I really wanted those expressions! Thanks a lot.

I once heard the expression "Oh, Not at all, Mr. X!" Would it be natural if we said this in response to "sorry", please?

Thanks.
