I fought with one tutor about grammar because
I said:
She is intelligent owing to being teacher
She said:
She is intelligent owing to be teacher
Or are both of us mistaken?

Neither of you is correct. You seem to be trying to say 'She is intelligent, owing to her being a teacher' (which isn't very logical!)

As an English learner, keep it simple. And continue to keep it simple when you are no longer a learner, unless absolutely necessary. The English is "because she is". Simple, familiar two-syllable "because" instead of contorted two word "owing to", and present tense instead of some other more complex tense that you don't know how to use. See SE English Languge Learners if you want to find out how. As a native English speaker I would never use "owning to" instead of "because" in this sort of situation (or ever, as far as I can see).

…And she is a teacher because she is intelligent, I imagine, not the other way around.
