Well, it seems that your problem, as stated, is not soluble. You've stated that the instructors have the same name but given us no clue as to what other information you have access to. So there's nothing to distinguish them.
So what other information do you have about the particular instructors? I can imagine that each instructor is a document with other information like past degrees, department, etc and that the classes also have some kind of metadata that could be used to correlate. But unless you can give us some clue what information you *do* have access to, I don't think there's much we can do to help...
