You are right. In English there is no respect. The rebbi would be called you so we have to speak to him in third person. In Hungarian the greeting for the elderly is the Hungarian equivalent to, I kiss your hand. I call myself Reb Eliezer to try to indicate that the elderly should not be called on their first name. When one is called up by us to the Torah will be called as Reb ben Reb and Habochar and the Rav, Moreinu or Morah Moreinu.
