"a bit bored" or "a little bit bored" !?

Hi everyone;

Which one is correct?
"a bit bored" or "a little bit bored"
One of English teachers said "a bit bored" is not correct and English speakers don't used it, while I believe both are correct, so what you think?

Thanks

Bbk_agp so what you think? I think the teacher is wrong. "a bit bored" may not be formal, but it's often used by native speakers.

It's in about the same category as "a trifle bored." They're both somewhat stylized. Not everyone uses them.
