I am looking for a English word or phrase which suits someone who love to propagate education among people by establishing educational institutions or writing books and so on.



In order to translate a text from my mother tongue to English I need such a word but I can not find it so far as I have knowledge about English.I have tried to use some words(for example devoted) for this purpose but they seem inappropriate to me.

  • What do you mean by education? General knowledge, or teaching a specific subject? Could you describe the person and what exactly they love teaching. A sample sentence would be especially helpful, I'm not keen on the above suggestions but they might fit if the context is clarified.

    You need to modify the title,(i.e. delete "preach") otherwise users are just going to suggest the more obvious solutions: preacher, rabbi, guru, sage, spiritual leader, mentor...

I'm not entirely sure a single word would do. 'Enthusiast' certainly fits, but you might want to qualify it further with the subject that enthuses them, such as 'educational/education enthusiast'.

    Pedagogue can have negative connotations, but depending on the context it might work for you.

          I'm not sure, but I think you're describing someone like Maria Montessori. So, I searched for her title, and she is referred to as...



          an educator.



          I know it seems too simple, but there it is.



          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Montessori



          The definition of educator:




          An educator may refer to a person who is adequately skilled in the
          theory and practice of education that, he/she may be involved in the
          implementation of education to others. An educator may be a teacher,
          professor, an administrator of a university, college, school or any
          other kind of educational institution. A skilled practitioner of the
          profession of imparting knowledge is known as an educator. An educator
          may be specialized in a particular field of study some of them may
          include, accounting, agriculture, drama, economics, philosophy,
          linguistics, literature, dance and mathematics among many other
          specialized fields of study. A professional educator may work on
          his/her own and even own an educational institution. An educator plays
          a crucial and significant role in the life of students, training them
          academically and also shaping their lives, ensuring their emotional
          and psychological health and welfare. An educator may play a huge role
          in the lives of his/her students, acting as a mentor, guide, confidant
          and friend. An educator may also be a specialized teacher of
          spirituality or religion.

                                            I'm not sure, but I think you're describing someone like Maria Montessori. So, I searched for her title, and she is referred to as...



                                            an educator.



                                            I know it seems too simple, but there it is.
