I believe the answer is:

masterpiece

'triumph' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'teacher has bit' is the wordplay.
'teacher' becomes 'master' (I've seen this before).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bit' becomes 'piece' (synonyms).
'master'+'piece'='MASTERPIECE'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for masterpiece that I've seen before include "tour de force" , "Outstanding artwork" , "Great work" , "Work of outstanding artistry" , "Outstanding item of workmanship" .)
