How do you find old teachers?

To find old teachers, you should check your old school's directory, contact your old school directly, and google your former teacher's name. For more details on these ways to find your old teacher and others, use this guide:

• Check your old school's directory. Your old teacher might still work at the school you attended, so it's always a good first step to check your old school's directory.

  Most educational institutions have directories that list their employees and contact information.

  You can visit your old school's website to see if you can find your former teacher in the school's directory.

• Contact your former school directly. If you reach out to the administration at your old school, they might be able to assist you.

  Your school can confirm if your old teacher still works there or if they have moved on or retired. They might also be able to give you some of their contact information, such as an email address or phone number.

  Remember that your old school might want to verify your identity before providing any contact information on your old teacher.

• Google your former teacher's name. You might be able to find your old teacher simply by googling them.

  You should try searching for their name, the name of your former school, or any other specific information tied directly to your old teacher.

• Use social media. Searching on social media is another great option. Many teachers use social media recreationally and professionally.

  You should check Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to start. Many teachers keep LinkedIn profiles, which can help you track them down.

• Get in touch with prior schoolmates. Contacting old schoolmates can sometimes be easier than finding an old teacher.

  Your old classmates might know how you can get in touch with an old teacher, or at least if they still work at the same school, have moved, or retired.

• Get in touch with other prior teachers. Some of your other old teachers might be able to assist you.

  If you are already friends with any old teachers on social media or can simply pay them a visit at your former school, this might help you locate the specific old teacher you are trying to find.
