University professors are not too common and therefore not well understood.

In my experience when people use the term “doctor” they immediately assume medical doctor, which can be confusing. Truth is, if someone knows the difference, mentioning where you teach will do the trick. If they don’t see a difference between a university instructor and prepa teacher your title won’t really matter anyway.

I like the title “professor” but am sometimes referred to a “maestro.” Which is corret, and which promotes me to University level?
Cheers,

Michael
