You can’t use teacher as a synonym for researcher, they’re two completely different things.

Good researchers are not necessarily good teachers. Good teachers are not necessarily good researchers. But the best teachers in my experience are fiercely interested in their subjects, which they share with the best teachers.

Everybody likes sharing their interests, right?
