Maestra vs profesora

I wrote 'maestra' instead of 'profesora' and this was marked as a mistake. But why, isn't it the same?

This question relates to:Spanish writing exercise "My name is Lola (female version)"

Hola Татьяна

I've just added "maestra" as another correct word for teacher. We are not specifying in the exercise whether it is referring to a primary school teacher or a secondary school teacher -this is the main difference between maestro/-a (primary) and profesor/-a (secondary).

I hope that helps.

Un saludo
