Yes, the grammar is correct.
BUT if the person is still your teacher then you should reply in the present tense. "You are my first teacher."

"You were my first teacher." OR if they're still your teacher, "you are my first teacher."
"My first teacher was you" is grammatical, but it sounds unnatural.
