Hi teachers!

I'm writing short card for my English teacher and I wonder my writing is correct.

Here's the writing I wrote.


'I'm impressed with your passion for teaching. Thank you for teaching us. Love.'



Is this grammatically correct? Is this expression proper in English culture?

'I'm impressed with your passion for teaching. Thank you for teaching us. Love from [your name].'

I think it's fine. Some people might say that putting "Love from ..." at the end is overly friendly but if I were a teacher, I would be quite happy to receive that. You might be able to make "I'm impressed" sound a little less formal. You could try "Your passion for teaching really shines through!" or something similar.
 
I note you're in Australia. "Love" is wrong, unless you are really close friends or family ... or unless you're trying to hit on him/her (making a play for him/her).
 
The sentence is fine except for the "love" part. I find it to be overly familiar. You might try "with respect", "respectfully", "with appreciation", etc.
