Morphology
The meaning 'a teacher who specializes in teaching mathematics' is directly and compositionally derived from 'math' (mathematics) + 'teacher' (an instructor). This noun compound follows a common and transparent head-modifier pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Math teacher is made of math, short for 'mathematics', the study of numbers and shapes, and teacher, so it simply means 'a teacher who teaches math'.
