The second sentence is grammatical but not something a native speaker would say or write. Can you express the idea with different words?

B) He is an eminent teacher.

C) He is an esteemed teacher.
Those are all possible in the right context. For everyday use, stick with something like "She's an excellent/a first-rate teacher."
