The answer

Mentioning female teachers by what they dislike, specifying their names, is backbiting (gheebah), and one must repent to Allah for it. Imam An-Nawawi explained the of Umm Zar‘, clarifying that forbidden backbiting is mentioning a specific person or group by name with something they dislike. However, if they are unknown, it is not considered backbiting according to some scholars, as mentioned by Al-Mazari and Qadi Iyad.
