It was the other way around. Plato was Socrates' student. Virtually everything we know about Socrates comes from the writings of Plato in which he describes what Socrates taught and how he taught.

No, it was the other way around. Socrates was the teacher of Plato. Plato was a student of Socrates and went on to become a renowned philosopher in his own right, founding the Academy in Athens.
