"Usted es un(a) buen(a) profesor(a)." --> You are a good teacher.

"Usted es un(a) gran profesor(a)." --> You are a great teacher.

"Usted es un(a) profesor(a) asombroso(a)." --> You are an amazing teacher.

Tip 1: If your teacher is female, add the "a" after the last consonant of the subject noun and to the adjective modifying the noun only if the adjective follows afterthe noun. If your teacher is male, either keep the existing consonant or add the "o" depending on the word (ex. unaprofesora asombrosa = an amazing [female] teacher; un profesor asombroso = an amazing [male] teacher; unabuena profesora = a good [female] teacher; un buen profesor = a good [male] teacher).

Tip 2: If you are referring to a college professor, use "catedr'atico(a)" instead. Only use "profesor(a)" or "maestro(a)" in cases when referring to an elementary or high school teacher.

Tip 3: If you are merely stating a person's profession, drop the use of "un(a)" altogether. It's enough to say: "Usted es profesor(a)." ("You are a teacher.") or "Yo soy estudiante." ("I am a student.")

Tip 4: Stick with using "usted" when talking in formal settings or with strangers. Otherwise, use "tu" when speaking to peers. (ex. Tu eres estudiante = You are a student; Usted es profesor = You are a teacher)

Best of luck!

Or rather.. Buena suerte! (;
