Using 谢谢老师
谢谢 (“thank you”) plus 老师 (“teacher”) is the phrase students say after extra help, and write in end-of-year and Teachers' Day cards: 老师，谢谢您 (“thank you, teacher” — with the polite 您 for extra respect). For heritage kids, it is a natural closing line after every Saturday Chinese class.
In Traditional Chinese it is 謝謝老師 — 谢→謝 and 师→師. A fuller card sentence: 谢谢老师教我 中文 (“thank you, teacher, for teaching me Chinese”) gives confident writers a real message to copy onto their practice sheet.
