Woman teacher

A woman teaching at a board, used for female teachers, lecturers and tutors, and for the act of explaining or schooling someone.

Teachers post it on first-day and end-of-term updates, often with 🍎 📚 or ✏️. Friends use it when someone breaks a topic down step by step, or to praise a sharp comeback where somebody just got schooled.
