"Teacher" is most commonly used for people who teach in grade school and high school. "School teacher" isn't used very much any more; it's old slang.
Professor generally refers to people who teach college classes.
As far as I've ever known, no one uses the word "master" to refer to a person.
"Maestro" is used to refer to the people who lead and conduct orchestras. (I've also heard it applied to fencing instructors.)
In the US, "schoolmaster" is never used; I believe that's a term from the UK to refer to people who oversee the teachers.
