I can tell you that your teacher has some pretty silly ideas, and if that's what she teches she should have her license removed.
If there is anything to the phenomenon of the Bermuda triangle, there are several factors that may come into it. First off, the area is adjacent to a huge ocean current nexus... the Saragasso sea, where there is an enormous deposite of floating seaweed. Easy to see how a night sailing vessel could get bogged in this. Also the are is famous for sudden low pressure atmospheric conditions... easy to see why low flying planes might take a ditch.
I've live in that area, and I've seen an aweful lot of waterspouts, some of them quite impressive in size.
I believe that there is nothing supernatural going on, either psychic or extradimensional. I think you should ask your teacher if they're serious, and if so, ask them to provide any verification of their hypothesis.

As stated by the Superstring Theory, we live in a 10 dimensional universe, but we only feel 3; width, length and height. Plus time. If the Bermuda Triangle is indeed a six dimensional area, it could do things that seem impossible to us.

What subject does your teacher teach?
If it's not physics then I'd say you probably should just smile and ignore what he says.
Otherwise, ask him what other 2 dimensions he is referring to since there are only 4 dimensions that are readily observable to humans.
The 4 dimensions are, 3 space and 1 time.
Some physicists have been developing theories to further explain some quirks/disagreements between quantum physics and general relativity. These theories are known by many names (String theory, M-theory, etc.) but all have similarities in the fact that they emphasize that there are more than 4 dimensions. Most cap the number at 11, and do so through complex algorithms. For more information regarding this subject I recommend the following books.

The Bermuda area is very geographically complicated.Actually we describe a triangle as a three side Geometrical figure having angles summing up to 180 degrees.
Perhaps he had the theory of relativity in mind and he could be right. However relativity always has been debatable..

it's more like a gravitational vortex where one time travles under water if you have every seen a hurrican in the water spinning to the bottom of the ocean then you might know what bermuda triangle used to be called a tsumiame

I'd like to know more. I've heard of length, width and height as the basic three dimensions. Time is usually considered the fourth dimension. Have no idea what 5 and 6 are.

The only other dimensions we have been able to prove exist is when we fired protons at each other in a particle accelerator. Those dimensions are only open to gravity to exist in. The evidence of these dimensions where smaller than an atom and only lasted a few nanoseconds.

Is that your astrology teacher? I would tell that teacher to stay with his/her subject of expert expertise such as sweeping floor or cleaning toilet.
