Can учитель also mean professor, or just teacher?

    учитель is only in school. In uni it's викладач. And in preschool/kindergarten it's вихователь

      What make йому correct here?

      Could його be used in place of йому?

        Your use dative because you give him a call :)

          Quite a few people say дзвонив до нього.

              "Called him" not "... to him."

                i think that "my teacher ringed him" should be accepted.

                I don't speak a dialect that uses "ring" in this sense, but it should probably be "my teacher rang him", not "ringed".
