Correct! A consultation can be with anyone with considerable knowledge in a subject, but often refers to medicine.

@Vpicton thank you!! so in school or in college, if you need to ask something to your teachers and you meet in the school but "out of school schedule" (I'm not sure this is how you say it), is it also "consultation"?

Also, if you don't mind, when you refer to the days when you were a student like "I remember, when we were IN/AT school, we used to..." is it IN/AT school/college...?

That’s a difficult one. Generally the expertise of a teacher would be considered the teaching of a subject/s, not necessarily the subject/s they are teaching. So a ‘consultation’ with a teacher would normally be with regard to their teaching, not the subject. In other words:

A Spanish language teacher may have considerable knowledge of Spanish, but to ask questions about that would just be part of the normal student/teacher relationship and can be referred to as simply discussion, asking, talking, questioning etc, and this might be done at a special ‘meeting’ with the teacher. A ‘consultation’ with the teacher would infer that we want to know something about their teaching methods, about how they are getting results, how their students are preforming etc. So a student may have a meeting with the teacher after school to discuss the subject of Spanish, whereas their parents might have a consultation with the teacher to discuss how their child is learning/being taught.

That said, it is not necessarily wrong to use the word ‘consultation’, just less usual in that context.

With regard to your second question:-
I remember when we were AT school = I remember the time in our lives when we were going to school
I remember when we were in school = I remember when we were physically inside the school building

Language is not an exact science, but generally the rules above hold true. I hope that helps.
