How does Audre Lorde illustrate her teachers?

She showed what her teachers were like by giving as many examples that she could of what she looked like, and describing in detail how they treated the children. Describing how they acted gave a greater sense of what they were like, because you could get a better impression of who they really were and how good of a teacher they were (which they weren't). The teachers seemed uncaring and impatient, as shown by their treatment of her because she was blind, and how they would scold her for not following instructions, even if they went above and beyond.
