You’re overthinking it just email them like your other teachers
Personally, I would end with:
どうぞうよろしくお願いします。
[自分の名前]
​
If the email is **extremely** professional and academic then try using a format:
拝啓[先生の名前] *[Dear, (Teacher name)]*
内容的 *(Innards of the email)*
敬具[自分の名前] *[Sincerely, (Your name)]*
​
[漢字 (Kanji)] used-
お願いします- (おねがじいします) (No direct translation to English: request?)
名前- (なまえ) (Name)
拝啓- (はいけい) [Dear (Only used in **very** professional settings)]
先生- (せんせい) (Teacher)
内容的- (ないようてき) (No direct translation to English: Regarding the content?)
敬具- (けいぐ) [Sincerely (Only used in **very** professional settings)]
​
Make sure to press enter and have space between two lines whenever you shift topic slightly. Always use (丁寧語) teineigo in the email: です, ます, わたし, etcetera. Add always put 先生 at the end of the teacher’s name.
​
Advice: Have your teacher correct your Japanese in the email in Japanese (as a written response), and try to understand it all. It’s a good learning opportunity and it’s [一石二鳥 (いっせきにちょう)]; two birds with one stone.

Stay focued and keep working hard 💪!
