retired teacher

Ex-instructor, now resting

A retired teacher is someone who has left the teaching profession after completing their career, typically upon reaching retirement age or eligibility.

The phrase often carries connotations of experience and dedication: My neighbor is a retired teacher who spent thirty years in public schools.

Retired teachers frequently remain connected to education through tutoring, volunteering, or substitute teaching.
