    Whats the difference between учитель and преподаватель?

    Just came across two words meaning teacher. Is there any difference between the two or does it matter which one you say? Thanks....

    "учитель" - в школе, "преподаватель" - в вузе (институте, университете).

    учитель is a teacher
    преподаватель is more like a lecturer
    another word is педагог meaning as you can guess a pedagog

    If it is a private tutor, then use репетитор.
    Я изучаю английский язык и поэтому делаю много ошибок. Но я не прошу Вас исправлять их, Вы можете просто ткнуть меня носом в них, или, точнее, пихнуть их мне в глаза. I'm studying English, and that's why I make a lot of mistakes. But I do not ask you to correct them, you may just stick my nose into them or more exactly stick them into my eyes.
    Всё, что не делается, не всегда делается к лучшему
    Но так же не всегда всё, что не делается, не делается не к худшему. : D
