Answer

Shiksak is more usable and common words meaning your guidance but adhyapak means only educational teacher

and yes both shiksak and adhyapak both are feminine gender.

Answer

Shiksha has a broad meaning( music, literature, subject etc), Shikshak gives or shares knowledge with you. (शिक्षा देने वाला )
Adhyapak is limited to teaching a chapter/s. (अध्याय पढ़ाने वाला )

Both are used commonly.

 शिक्षक/अध्यापक  (Male Teacher)
शिक्षिका/अध्यापिका (Female Teacher)

It doesn't mean Headmaster/Head Mistress or Principle or Professor .
