was taught by Dr. vs taught by Dr.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Was taught by Dr." is used when emphasizing the past action of being taught by a specific person. On the other hand, "Taught by Dr." is used in a more general sense to describe the teaching experience without focusing on the past action.
