I think you should take your time, and when the course is over, take the entire class out for drinks and find out whether she's into you.
Making a move on her now could land you in hot water with your school or cost you a good student.

This sounds pretty simple and obvious: as long as she is your student you should not be dating her, flirting with her or whatever.

Once she is no longer your students, you are both adults and if you like her and she likes you then happy trails.

Why not casually hang out and gauge your interest after getting to know her a little better in a different setting? Nothing wrong with that, right? If your feelings for her continue or grow stronger and you reach a point of emotional clarity:

Tell her how you feel.

Worst case scenario, she won't return your sentiment. But, after getting to know her a little better, you'll probably already have a good idea of this. If she does return your feelings, explain the conundrum of both teaching and dating her. She's an adult (right?). She can decide what's more important; finding another class, or dating you.

My father always imparted this to me: "Go as far as you can see, you'll see further when you get there."

Live Boldly. You don't call yourself 'Adventurer' for nothing, right?

I was thinking about that -nothing ventured nothing gained. However, the mighty dollar is also important. No harm in getting to know her better. I am not rash. I take things one step at a time.
