The Japanese word 先生 (sensei) is commonly used to refer to a teacher or person who has far greater knowledge than your own (and imparts that wisdom). For example, the word is also applied to doctors.

先生 also functions as an honorific, meaning that it is often placed after someone's name to mean 'Mr/Mrs...' in a school.
