Personally, I love teacher influencers. They inspire me, relate to me and bring awareness to the needs and happiness of the teaching profession. 

Here are 8 teacher accounts you must follow:

  1. Putting Them First

  • Long and short content
  • Honestly, Lauren is just stinking cute. She feels like your best friend every time you watch a video. 

2. Karina Bolier

Karina’s Instagram feed is one to envy. She makes me want to spend lots of money on every outfit she wears (not because they are pricey, but because I have no self-control) and I would love to go back in time and be a student in her class.

  • Teacher outfits
  • Instagram reels

With a following of over 35K on Tiktok Shelby Abbott is soon to be everyone’s favorite teacher influencer.

She is mine because her content is so adorable, but also SHE’S MY SISTER. 

Yes, I know…. We look nothing alike, but she is my sister and an amazing teacher!
