@noza_kee A few corrections are needed.
1. Although the word is correct, a native speaker wouldn't say ardent. I'll provide you with examples you could use instead.
2. When you discuss "today's teacher" you are talking about something that happened in the past, so you need to use the past tense verb "was" instead of the present tense "is".
Here are some examples:
Today’s teacher was very passionate.
Today’s teacher was very enthusiastic.
Today’s teacher was very intense.

Yes it’s positive. It means very enthusiastic, but “ardent” is not commonly used in everyday speaking. Many native speakers will not know the meaning.
