shizun 师尊 is some kind of courtesy title for a teacher, especially when a student is referring his teacher to others. It’s not a common word in daily life.
shifu 师傅 is also an old-fashioned and casual word a student calls his teacher, but nowadays this has become a very common word to call those who are skilled, like a driver, cook or plumber.
