先生 is a honorific term used same way as さん.
You cannot say that someone is a 先生. If you want to say that somebody is a teacher, you must say something like: 田中さんはお母さんの教師でした。

教師 is "teacher" at school, just a name of the profession. Teachers in cram schools are not called as 教師.
先生 can be used for teachers, doctors, politicians, novelist, etc.
You can say 「先生、ありがとうございました」,but 「教師、ありがとうございました」is incorrect.
