Is this a good thank you letter to a teacher?

It’s for my grade 8 teacher, even though it’s a bit late to send her one, I haven’t thought of anything until a few days ago, I want to send this before I move on to 9th grade in a few days.

This is sincere, I don’t intend it to be too much, it’s alright if she doesn’t reply, I just want to thank her.

So anything to fix, edit, add in take out or anything else? Or an opinion. Just let me know, bedankt.

Dear, Mme. __

Thank you for being a great teacher, I wish I could’ve said this to you in person but, I was unable to and I apologize for being seemly unresponsive to you sometimes; I really enjoyed your classes and appreciated your help, I’ve learned many things and that made me more interested Geography and some other things too.

Also, I would like to thank you for your generosity, the way of your kindness is a way that I’ve never received from any adult, you were one of the people who inspired me to be a better person and to be more open minded.

You are very understanding, respectful, caring and considerate toward everyone and also funny, which makes you an amazing person. Wherever I may go in life, I will remember you.

Have a nice day c: From, __

P.S Did you get the bird painting?
