"O-tsukare sama desu" is a standing phrase used often in business/company environment, roughly meaning "Thank you for your work," but quite often used as a greeting/acknowledgement (to start off a conversation, or in passing) among colleagues. I wonder if your language teacher ever explained how it is used?
It is not to be used for your superiors; you cannot use it as just as an greeting/acknowledgement to your superiors.
If you want to convey the sense of "Thank you for your work" at the end of the day, you should say お疲れが出ませんように (Best wishes that you don't tire from your work).
Having said this, I am sure that some would say oh that last sentence is too old-fashioned, etc. :)
Are you trying to ask if you can use it to your teacher?

お疲れ様です is a typical greeting in business environment which mean "You worked very hard (therefore)you must be tired", some one cares about your work and participation but it refer to "Good day" "Hello" and "Good bye"(as leave work). It can be used various places especially in business field so it's a common and popular greeting. I actually don't like this greeting so much.
You can say お疲れ様です to 目上の人.
