Teacher is the general term for someone whose job it is to teach a subject or an art. eg English Teacher.
An Instructor teaches how to learn a particular skill or sport.eg Driving Instructor, Tennis Instructor.
A trainer trains people for a particular job or profession or in certain varieties of sport. eg Personal Fitness Trainer.
A coach is someone who trains individual players or a team. eg Roy Hodgson is the coach of the English National Football Team. Roger Federer has his own personal Tennis Coach.
We can deduce from this that the most pronounced similarities are between Teacher and Instructor and between Coach and Trainer although in both cases there are subtle differences.
a teacher is a person, an individual of any gender that is a graduate of Bachelor's in Education. He or she has the knowledge and skills to eduacate students academically. A trainor is someone who is expert in a certain field. He will train a specific work, activity, or job.

Peter and Juma have spelt it so well such that if l add anything,l will spoil the broth.
GOOD ANSWERS HERE=== AGREED
In fact, these terms altogether refer to a person aiming to help knowledge seekers to get information or acquire a skill. A teacher provides knowledge while a trainer shows people how to do things perfectly and administer their performance. An instructor is more authoratative while a coach is more of a guide.
Agree with eter Scott ,Senior Night Waking Officer/Management
Teacher is the general term for someone whose job it is to teach:
I'd like to go into teaching and get a job as a teacher in an inner city primary or secondary school. Teaching assistants can only ever support the classroom teacher; they can never replace him. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In British English, an instructor teaches you on how to learn or improve in a particular skill or sport:
If you want to learn how to drive, you will need a driving instructor. If you want to learn how to fly, you will require a flying instructor. If you intend to ski this winter on the higher slopes, you'll need a ski instructor.In the US, an instructor is a university teacher below the rank of assistant professor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A coach is someone who trains individual sports players or a team. The examples below are taken from tennis and football:
Tim Henman, Britain's No 1, has a new coach, Paul Anacone, who worked with Pete Sampras for six years. Paul Bracewell, national coach with the England youth teams for the past two years, has resigned. ----------------------------------------------------------------------A trainer can be someone who trains people for a particular job or profession or who trains someone in certain varieties of sport.
In-service teacher trainers are in very great demand here as there is no pre-service training for teachers. If you can get Kevin as your personal fitness trainer, you'll work on a wide range of strategies and techniques.
Differences:
Teacher: They teach us from text books. He just memorize text, questions and related answer and he following and repeating every year the same pattern just changing cloths, shave, hair style and shoes during his job period at institution.
Trainer: He knows few exercises which he repeating every day on his groups from beginning to end from easy to tough. On the field he is caring to be followed by everyone same as he doing.
Instructor: The guidelines which is given to a person from the head of the department to apply on his group and he will not move from those instruction because he is just instructor having no power to create new or amendment .
Coach: Attached to different playing teams to prepare his teams to fight with the opponents with brave heart and win the match to bring pride for his personality. His life successful tactics application is his main aim he doesn’t want to repeat his own mistakes on his own groups.
Similarities:
All are human, they have knowledge and experience Theoretically and practically, they are bound up to certain limits, they have rules and all of them costing money for their work , no one doing his job free of cost, they love to see their groups improvement and during failure of groups all become sad and worry. The practical performance record effects their future existing in organization. All of them struggle for achievements and salary improvement.
I always relay on giving examples when answering such questions.
So, a teacher is just the one who taught you English or Arabic or math.
A trainer is the one who practically train the teachers to be teachers. Thus training would involve both theory and practice issues related to the subject.
Instructor is the person who follows up teachers job and support both his achievements and his challenges which he face along his teaching experience.
A Coach is the person whom takes the feedback which came from the instructor and tailors very specific programs that include very details training of workshops for that teacher in order to develop his/her skills and abilities.
