They are all possible. Why? - Because they are all correct English.

Hello
so, there is no difference between "to you" and "for you" in the sentence number one
Someone told me that I must use "of" instead of "to" in the sentence in the question two.
Are you an English teacher?

Click on Member Info for the answer to that last question.

The person who told you to use 'of' clearly isn't an English teacher.
