Yes, Dear is the all purpose way of starting a letter in English as there is no formal equivalent of it like there is for querido in Spanish. However, as qfreed use the teacher´s name it sounds more personal.

I remember when I wrote "Querido profesor" to a teacher once, how embarrassing! In English I think it is acceptable to write Dear Teacher 1. Thank you for showing me and the rest of the class how to keep improving each day. 2. You give us your all in every class.

Yes, but use her name...Dear Ms., Miss or Mrs. XXXXXX,

For showing us, day-by-day, the way to keep improving... (me and us is incorrect)

In each class, you give all of us..... (we use you all on this site for you plural, but it us grammatically incorrect)

Oops, if these were meant to be complete sentences, then ignore my comments.
