In human terms the priest Eli was. However Eli could not even teach his own boys right. God would have been the most effective teacher Samuel had. Evidently Samuel learned to listen well and to follow God and not the bad example of man, at least in terms of his own leadership of Israel. As far as Samuel's own children went, it seems he didn't do much better than Eli - this was one contributing factor to the Israelites wanting a king.
In The Bible, Eli is Samuel's teacher. Eli was a High Priest of Shiloh. Samuel was a leader in ancient Israel, and the name Samuel means 'name of God.'
Samuel was raised by Eli the priest at the tabernacle in Shiloh. Eli took care of Samuel after his mother, Hannah, dedicated him to the service of the Lord.
Samuel was called by god at a very young age, he was kept by his mother in the temple under the priest Eli.Then god called him at night he ran to Eli to see if the old priest wanted anything. This happened a few times and each time Eli said he did not call him. Then Eli realized that it was god calling , so he told Samuel next time you hear the voice say Speak lord your servant is listening.remember that Samuel had been realed all his days by Eli in the synagogue according to the Bible:1 Sam :16;17
Samuel lived with Eli in the temple as a young boy. Samuel's mother, Hannah, had dedicated him to serve the Lord as a Nazarite from a young age, and Eli was the high priest who took him in and raised him in the temple.
Samuel was not a "priest" (kohen). He was a Levite (1 Chronicles ch.6); and the functions were not the same. The Levites assisted the Kohanim (Numbers ch.18). Their functions included singing at certain times in the Temple (Talmud, Berakhot 35a), carrying the Temple-vessels as needed (Numbers ch.3-4), guarding the Temple gates (Talmud, Tamid 27a), and other duties as needed.They also served the nation as Torah-scholars (Deuteronomy 33:10).In addition, Samuel served Eli (the kohen) as a personal manservant (1 Samuel 2:11).See also:More about Samuel

Samuel
The Book of I Samuel. Eli was the priest when Samuel was offered by his mother. The story of Eli begins in 1 Samuel 1 as he mistakes Hannah, the mother of Samuel, for being drunk as she's praying for a child. It goes on to God's curse on Eli and his family in 1 Samuel 2:27-36 He dies in 1 Samuel 4:18 when he hears the news that both his sons died in battle. It ends in 1 Kings 2:7 when the followup to the curse comes true during the time of King Solomon, many years later.
