How to get a value from a database based on a value from the same row, but different column - pls help!!!!!!!!!!

Hello @Paul Krzyz. Thank you for your help. This is what I have in my backend code:
import wixData from ‘wix-data’ ;
export async function checkUserExists ( email ){
if(typeof email !== ‘undefined’ && email !== “” ){
let options = {
“suppressAuth” : true ,
“suppressHooks” : true ,

    }; 
    //convert to lowercase and remove spaces 
    **var**  _email  =  email . toLowerCase (). split ( " " ). join ( "" ); 

    **var**  url  =  "" ; 
    **return**  **await**  wixData . query ( "Teachers" ) 
        . eq ( 'email' ,  _email ) 
        . find ( options ) 
        . then ( ( results ) =>{ 
            **if**  ( results.items.length  != 0 ) { 
                //returns the first row, if multiple rows with the same email are found 
                url  =  results.items [ 0 ]. link-teachers-title ; 
                **return**  url ; 
            }  **else** { 
                **return**  "Error: User not setup. contact admin for help." ; 
            } 
        }) 
        . **catch** (( error ) =>{ 
            console . log ( "Error reading from table: Teachers.\n"  +  error.message ); 
            **return**  "Error: Fetch error trying to get data from table Teachers" ; 
        }); 
        } 
        **else** { 
            **return**  "Error: Email parameter passed in was invalid" 
        } 

}

This is what I put in my login page
import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’ ;
import wixLocation from ‘wix-location’ ;
import { checkUserExists } from ‘backend/login_functions’

let userEmail = “” ;

$w . onReady ( function (){

})
export async function loginTeacher_click ( event ){
userEmail = $w ( ‘#emailLogin’ ). value . toLowerCase (). split ( " " ). join ( “” );
let password = $w ( ‘#passwordLogin’ ). value ;
wixUsers . login ( userEmail,password )
. then ( () => {
let newLink = await checkUserExists ( userEmail );
if ( newLink . substring ( 0,5 ) !== “Error” ){
let realLink = “/teachers/profile/” + newLink ;
console . log ( realLink );
wixLocation . to ( realLink );
} else {
console . log ( “Error occured: \n” + newLink );
}
})
. catch (( error ) =>{
console . log ( error );
})
}

However, when I run the backend program, it gives me this message: Error reading from table: Teachers. teachers is not defined
Also await is underlined in read saying it can only be used in an async function, but I believe I am using it in an async function
