Dear brother in Islam,
What you feel for your teacher is an attraction based on your familiarity to her. You see her quite often and feel like you are getting to know her as a person and feel attracted to her.
This is what happens between colleagues who see each other a lot. Feeling like this is to be expected in this situation. You may not be able to control how you feel, but if you are certain that you can continue to behave appropriately with her then there is no blame in remaining in this programme of study.
To manage your feelings you could try some practices from meditation. When you notice how you feel about her, allow the feelings to come and go without engaging with them. Don't judge these feelings as good or bad. Instead bring your attention to your breath. Breathe in and out until those feelings pass.
If you fear you may behave inappropriately with or around her, or with someone else as a result of being around her, you may want to consider leaving this course altogether for the sake of Allah swt.
I pray Allah swt guides you through this difficult time and keeps you strong.
Simple answer brother change to a male teacher. If you do not find any male teacher stop studying for the sake of Allah. Definitely Allah will give you much better than this.
I can remember similar thing happened in my life. I did the same. That is 12 years before. Alhamdhulillah i did not lose anything.
Salam
Please make arrangements to send a proposal to this teacher. If you like her that much maybe it would be best to see if she's interested as well. Now, if the proposal doesn't go well then you can switch teachers or do something else. Salam.
