A female teacher from Tasmania has pleaded guilty to having sexual intercourse with a boy under the age of 17.

The 32-year-old admitted to having sex with the boy on four different occasions last year, when she appeared at Hobart Magistrates Court.

She is due to appear in the Supreme Court next month.

She was released on bail and ordered not to contact the victim.

In November, the Education Department said it referred reports of inappropriate behaviour to police.

The teacher was suspended on full pay but the department has said she is no longer employed.
