Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
It's nice to write a thank you note to your teacher in Japanese after, I'm sure your teacher will appreciate it.

This is OK.

But in Japanese, to address people with ใ‚ใชใŸ when you know their name does not sound natural. Especially when adressing people whose title is above you (like teachers, boss) may sound rude. It is safe to call them by the title, or name with title/honorific.

e.g.
ๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใฏ็ด ๆ™ดใ‚‰ใ—ใใฆ่ฆชๅˆ‡ใชๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใงใ—ใŸใ€‚
โ—‹โ—‹ๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใฏ็ด ๆ™ดใ‚‰ใ—ใใฆ่ฆชๅˆ‡ใชๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใงใ—ใŸใ€‚

This year I have enjoyed being taught by you.

ไปŠๅนดๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใซๆ•™ใˆใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใฆๆฅฝใ—ใ‹ใฃใŸใงใ™ใ€‚
๏ฝžใซใƒปใƒปใƒปใƒปใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใ† = being ใƒปใƒปใƒปใƒปby ~
Literal translation is "This year I was taught by you and enjoyed".
ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใ† has a connotation of appreciation/gratitude in this case.
ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใ† itself means "to get/receive" and it implies receiving some kind of favour.


To be afraid can be translated as ใ“ใ‚ใŒใ‚‹ but ๏ฝžใŒใ‚‹ is used only to describe 2nd/3rd person, but not yourself.

ใ‚ใชใŸใ‚’ๆ‰‹ไผใ† means (I) help you. ใ‚’ indicates its preceding word is the direct object of the verb.

To be confident is ่‡ชไฟกใŒใ‚ใ‚‹.
ใ‚ใ‚‹ means "to exist"
To get/become confident is ่‡ชไฟกใŒใคใ.

I was afraid (of Japanese language?), but after you helped me, I became more confident.

Because you helped me with Japanese, I know I will pass exams.

ใจ means "together". "With" in the above sentence means different thing, not together.
to help someone with something is ๏ฝžใ‚’ๆ‰‹ไผใ†.

"to know" have several meanings, in this case it means you can tell.
In that sense, ใ‚ใ‹ใ‚‹ is better wording than ็Ÿฅใ‚‹. ็Ÿฅใ‚‹ sounds more like "to get to know".

To pass the exam is ่ฉฆ้จ“ใซ้€šใ‚‹
่ฉฆ้จ“ใซๅ—ใ‹ใ‚‹ is more commonly used.

ๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใซๆ—ฅๆœฌ่ชžใ‚’ๆ‰‹ไผใฃใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใŸใฎใงใ€่ฉฆ้จ“ใซๅ—ใ‹ใ‚‹ใจใ‚ใ‹ใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸใ€‚
Because you helped me with Japanese, I know I will pass exams.
Though grammatically correct, this sentence somehow does not sound natural.
To convey what you mean to say, perhaps using ๆ€ใ† is better.
ๅ…ˆ็”Ÿใซๆ—ฅๆœฌ่ชžใ‚’ๆ‰‹ไผใฃใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใŸใฎใงใ€ใใฃใจ่ฉฆ้จ“ใซๅ—ใ‹ใ‚‹ใจๆ€ใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚
Because you helped me with Japanese, I think I'll surely pass exams.

ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ—ใŸใ€‚
Thank you.
This is OK.

ใŒใ‚“ใฐใฃใฆใญใ€‚
 
Please let me add one thing.
Could you please use full word "Japanese" (it's only 8 alphabets) or if you really need to use abbreviation, "JP"?
 
Ahh sorry :sorry: long day I know it offends some people by that stage was about to fall asleep 2 exams in one day 6hours straight >.< just little tired ใ™ใฟใพใ›ใ‚“ใ€‚

Mm I know it sounds weird say ใ‚ใชใŸbut I wasn't sure using the name sounds kind of funny in English and wasn't sure if make quite sense that way. I'll use this then ใ‚ฏใƒญใƒผใƒ‡ใ‚ฃใ‚ขๅ…ˆ็”ŸBut I will use it sometimes I'm not sure of things because even though I am native English speaker I grew up in Hong Kong and still have problems knowing stuff in English and finding how to say in Japanese.
Ah yes I have only just learnt ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใ† this year but just as to receive I knew was meant to be as a favour.

Haha it is lucky I can read Chinese otherwise I would have difficulty with the kanji. Many of this I have written not knowing the structures or heard anything like it.
ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ—ใŸใ€‚It means a lot to me for your help. Although my teacher is cantonese I thought would be very special to write in Japanese ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ—ใŸ.
