He was in two of them, Sejanus and Every Man in His Humour.
These words are about Shakespeare, they are the words of Shakespeare's great friend and contemporary, Ben Jonson. The quotation comes from Jonson's poem, To the memory of my beloved, found in the First Folio of Shakespeare's works, published in 1623.
Ben Jonson
There is no record of the name of Shakespeare's teacher when he attended grammar school. He was certainly not taught by the Ben Johnson who was a Canadian sprinter. He was also certainly not taught by Ben Jonson (please note the spelling), the playwright, who was younger than Shakespeare.

Unfortunately it was not common in Shakespeare's day to keep records of what actor played what part in any plays. We are fortunate in that Ben Jonson made a record of the actors who played in his plays Sejanus and Every Man in His Humour, and Shakespeare appeared in both those plays, although the record does not show what part he played. The First Folio also lists actors who played in Shakespeare's plays, including Shakespeare, but not who played in which play nor what part they took.
