Russian term or phrase: 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

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