Helen Goddard, 26 - nicknamed "the jazz lady" - befriended the girl as they met for coffee after lessons.
But their relationship became sexual and rumours reached the headteacher, who texted parents about the scandal, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Cops found Goddard with the girl during a raid last month, along with a number of sex toys.
The teacher was arrested and next day the teenager confessed to her mum.
Goddard has been suspended by the London school, which cannot be named.
The former child prodigy - who played at the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony in 2000 - blushed as she pleaded guilty to six sample charges of sexual activity with a child between February and July.
Judge Anthony Pitts ordered reports and gave her bail before sentencing on September 21.
He told Goddard, of Greenwich, South East London: "These are obviously serious charges.
"By putting this back, I'm making no promises or giving any indications as to sentence."
He told her she will have to sign the Sex Offenders' Register.
