Watashi ( 私 ) and boku ( 僕 ) both mean "I ; me" - the difference lies in the usage by men and women.
"Boku" is used by men. For example, if I said "Boku ha Porandojin desu", it would sound awkward to Japanese people because I'm a girl. :)
If I'd like to say it right, I should use "watashi" (which is neutral) or "atashi" (used by women).
Both "watashi" and "atashi" are written by the same kanji - 私.

Kyoushi is "a teacher":
Boku ha kyoushi desu.
