Hi.

I usually say 1) "I look forward to learning from you" or 2) "I am looking forward to learning from you" but I don't know if they're natural.

Today I talked with a woman who's older than me. She's a teacher of a school. I think I can learn a lot from her and I said the first one to her. Are my two sentences natural?

The first is natural. The second would be natural if you said "I'm."

She's a teacher [STRIKE]of[/STRIKE] at a school.

Note my correction above. It's more common to say "She's a teacher" or "She's a schoolteacher".

With look forward, the present simple and progressive can be used pretty much interchangeably in most contexts.
