Is a grateful teacher also good for the above meaning? Well, I can say my appreciated teacher, but I'd like to know how to say it with  "grateful" or a word having the similar level and use.

Do not put any extra words in the greeting; just use 'Dear Alice' or 'Dear Ms Smith'.  Express your gratitude in the body of your letter: "Dear Ms Smith, I am very grateful for your kindness and effort in teaching me during this past year...." .
