Fiora Win Condition
Your fundamental win condition against Teemo is built on nullifying his whole existence in lane. His primary role is basically just to poke you out, but by running a specific defensive setup (Doran's Shield, Second Wind, and Grasp), you basically negate him. Once you have negated his poke and established a lead, the goal is to become an unstoppable force.
Since we know we're going to be clapping cheeks right now, we prioritize items like Sheen over Phage when building Trinity Force because you ideally want to deal more damage and take more turrets. Your Demolish rune will help you shred turrets dude, even more than you normally would. By acquiring this lead and maximizing your turret damage, you push your advantage and transition into an unkillable split-pusher.
Teemo Win Condition
Teemo's win condition is inherently simple: rely on his range and poke to wear you down. If Fiora fails to counter his poke, he wins the sustained trade war.
He relies heavily on his
Q (Blind) to deny Fiora damage in an engagement.
His strength is built around applying this poke and utilizing mushrooms (his ultimate) for defensive zoning, which is why you must never follow a Teemo into the bushes. In higher ELOs, Teemo players are better at knowing when to push you back and how to maneuver. If Fiora gets ahead, Teemo's win condition shifts to survival: he will likely sit under the tower because he is too afraid to step up and farm against you.
General Strategy
We're starting with Doran's Shield (D-shield) and taking Second Wind from the Resolve tree, which gives us a little bit more early sustain. The most crucial strategic decision here is running Grasp of the Undying. I can hear the pitchforks, but just hear me out—Grasp is a very strong rune and is extremely extremely discredited on fiora. This defensive setup is essential because you can take a lot of poke early on and it will be almost be as if nothing even happened.
D-shield and Second Wind allow you to passively heal back the damage. This combination, alongside your Grasp healing, basically just negates him. While Conqueror might work in lower ELOs because being very aggressive can make them hesitant to step up, in higher ELOs (probably Gold plus, Plat plus) where Teemo players know when to when to push you back, you should definitely be taking Grasp.
In terms of macro movement, don't be afraid to leave and 
Q forward to get to lane faster, which means more XP more gold that you could be missing out on.
For itemization, you want to get a Tiamat first. When completing your boots, you should definitely take Merc Treads over ninja tabi because you need to look at the enemy team's crowd control (CC)—Morgana has her stun and Brand has her stun, and they have a lot of AP, which makes Merc Treads the superior choice. Later on, Ravenous and Death's Dance are so big right now.
Trading Patterns
Teemo is stronger in the first early levels, so you need to be cautious. Trading revolves around utilizing Grasp. As soon as you have the proc up (that green stuff on your hands), you want to be going in and get as much poke as you can.
The most critical factor in trading is Riposting his Blind (Q). When he runs away and turns around, look for the animation of hisQ—the missile is going to be a little bit thicker.
That's what you want to Riposte.
If you successfully land your Riposte on hisQ, he's going to be slowed. This allows you to follow up with your
E, which slows them even more. The goal is to hop on him with yourQ.
A quick and simple QW can secure a kill. When you are all-inning, you should apply the right slows at the right time.
If you take a decent amount of damage, don't just Riposte just because you can. If he is not engaging, you should hold your
W because you are going to passively heal all this back up anyway thanks to D-shield and Second Wind.
Wave Management
You don't want to be fighting Teemo in a pretty big wave. A key tactic is exploiting Teemo's limited movement by either freezing or crashing the wave. You can look to set up a freeze, though he's going to probably teleport in to counter it. In general, your main goal is to shove this wave under so you can get it back to your side.
After securing a kill, you always want to push this wave in again. When you are ahead, you can look to slow push so that if he wants to come up and get farm, he has to step into your little danger zone. A highly effective aggressive tactic when ahead is proxying. You push the wave in and then back, forcing him to stay in lane or miss farm.
You might not want to take the turret just yet because you want to lose some more farm underneath it. Proxying is great because any creeps that die to tower... is wasted experiencing gold for the enemy, and you continue farming while denying him resources.
