It's not clear to me what the limits of this construction are: it usually requires that the role is unique, at least in the context. So if you're talking about somebody who is a teacher, you can't normally say as teacher; but if you're talking about the relationship between the teacher and their pupil or pupils you then could say as teacher, meaning "as the one who is the teacher in this relationship". | |
