I don’t even like the word teach or teacher.
In Spanish it would be Profesor or Maestro which doesn’t have the same conotations of I know and I will tell you what you need to know. At least if you stand up in front of a class and profess it doesn’t sound so arrogant. In fact you could be a bit batty most professors are, charming. And Maestro? sounds like you have effortless command of your subject without implying any dictatorial methods of imparting knowledge.
Or am I getting too pedantic?
I think I just never liked teachers
