I think is better Senyora(if she's married) or Senyorita (if she doesn't) + her first name. But, at least, where I live we don't use Senyora/Senyorita, we only use the first name. It feels like you're comfortable with her.

Hi! Senyora or senyoreta are old fashioned ways to talk with a teacher. nowadays only children usually use that expression, for example: "Senyoreta Anna, sóc el Pau".
but if you are a adult, only using her first name is ok.

I would say “senyoreta” , it’s more respectful since “-eta” means younger or smaller. So, senyoreta + her first name

What's the difference between senyorita and senyoreta?

@Hasisi
"Senyorita" isn't correct, it comes from the Spanish where it is "señorita", so it is what we call a "barbarisme" that is when someone uses incorrectly an expression or word from another language. In Catalan it normally happens with Spanish, so the correct word in Catalan is "Senyoreta"
