I have chatted to him and on quite a few occasions talked to him about personal, his extended family , his life outside school (which I am 99% sure does not involve a girlfriend!). He laughs alot and is a geuinely lovely guy. My son is no longer in his class after the end of term. I don't know how to take this forward and it is now beginning to effect me because I like him alot and cannot sort out what to do. There is no reason that my son would find out initially and I would be very sensitive to this situation. Do I carry on chatting and hope? I don't think he would take things further due to the fact I am a mother! I would ask him out and cope with making a fool of myself but it would be embarassing as I would still see him! Any positive advice greatly received!

otherwise - Go for it?
just ask him for a coffee or a drink or to go over a bit of the course or similar.

As long as your son no longer must confront this teacher at school and you do not make it publicly known to his friends or classmates, I don't see a problem with it.
You are both adults so I think that if it turns out you do not share the same feelings, you will be able to deal with the resulting awkwardness. And you know that if you don't try, you will have regrets and spend Goodness-knows-how-long wondering.
