препод

товарищи, подскажите неформальные варианты слова "преподаватель" (по-русски - препод).
Можно и британский и амер. вариант. Пока мне только prof приходит в голову (сокр. professor), но профессор и преподаватель не всегда одно и то же. Спасибо!

teach

The word is shortened in English to mirror the Russian version. I've heard/seen it used plenty.

That's true, I forgot about that. Also, Jason Shwartzman's character in Funny People scores a sitcom with 'Teach' in the title. Thanks, Rachel.
