How Do You Say Teacher in Spanish?

In Spanish, the word for teacher is ‘profesor’ for a male teacher and ‘profesora’ for a female teacher. The term is widely used in educational contexts across Spanish-speaking countries. For example, if you want to say ‘The teacher is explaining the lesson,’ you would say ‘El profesor está explicando la lección’ for a male teacher or ‘La profesora está explicando la lección’ for a female teacher. This distinction is important in Spanish, as nouns and adjectives often change based on gender.
