Basically what I'm asking is: is it enough or too much?

jonoc5 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionust to clarify i have no interest in seeing if she feels the same way at all, that would unfair. i just want to feel like i said something rather than just leaving that part of my life open.
also i cant give her a note as i've already finished my lessons with her.

 I think that's a nice note, its not too much. I'm glad you didnt write about your infactuation; that would have been too much.
I think it would be nice to write it in a thank-you card and give it to her at the end of the year.

reader, anonymous, writes (23 May 2011): I think it's too much. I would cut the self-deprecation and just casually state your purpose, i.e. to thank her for what she's done for you. Here is a revised version you might want to consider:
I meant to say this when I saw you for the last time on Wednesday, but I missed my chance. I wanted to say that you have been the best teacher I've ever had and I enjoyed your lessons immensely. It means a lot to me that you didn't just leave me to suffer in silence regarding my eyesight, especially seeing as I've had so much trouble with the subject. You have made my time at bohunt that bit more bearable.
