Can 'teach' be the short form of teacher?

Yes. In very casual American usage youngsters sometimes address their teacher as teach. I wouldn't expect this abbreviation in other contexts.

 

[tulipflower]

Yeah. He's kind of teacher.

Please stick to standard English words on the forum. What do you mean by "kind of a teacher"?

 

[Tdol]

It's not a standard form, so I wouldn't use it in most contexts, but that is what it means.

He's not a kind of teacher. He's a teacher.
