word usage

Hello :)

Who is your subsequent teacher?

Is subsequent an appropriate word to use in this sentence? It actually sounds odd to me. I looked this word up in the dictionary and it was stated their that subsequent means happening or coming after something else. I think subsequent should no be used to refer to people but I'm not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks[/b]

You can use subsequent when referring to people:

Subsequent generations built on the discoveries they had made.
His subsequent teachers disagreed with the theory.

However, I would say that it is not necessary in your example:
Who is/was your next teacher?
