person who manages workers
A person at work who watches and controls what other workers do, and makes sure the job is done well and safely.
استعمال کا انداز:
work under [someone] as your supervisor
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "supervisor" with "superior". A "supervisor" is your direct boss who manages your work. A "superior" is any person who is higher in rank or position, not always your direct boss. Learners also sometimes say "work as a superior" when they mean "work as a supervisor".

teacher guiding a student's research
A teacher at a university who helps and leads a student with a big study project or research.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is [someone]'s supervisor for [a project]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "teacher" instead of "supervisor" when talking about someone who is responsible for a thesis or dissertation. "Teacher" is more general, and in universities, the correct word for this role is usually "supervisor" or "advisor".
ہم معنی الفاظ
advisor (Common in American English (often spelled "adviser"); similar role, but can also be used for broader academic or career guidance, not only research.)
|
mentor (Suggests personal and long-term guidance, not only official responsibility for a specific thesis or project.)
