Welcome to the forum.

I'm a chemistry teacher who teaches [STRIKE]for english[/STRIKE] native English speakers.

Today, one of my students said "Thank you queen". [STRIKE]!?[/STRIKE]

What [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] does that mean? This is not a big deal, but I'm just curious.

Note the corrections above.
Who did the student say that to, and why? Can you give us a little background?

Maybe he was speaking to Queen Latifah.

She thinks highly of you.

"Queen" is current slang for complimenting a woman in regards to ability at a particular task - similar to calling a guy a 'boss'. Someone who is important at or particularly successful at something.

I've seen it used on social media something like this: A woman who just posted some of her artwork might be called a 'creative queen' by someone who admires her artwork.

Without further context, I would assume that your student is referring to you as a 'queen' of chemistry.
