But i just want to let him know what an amazing help he's been to me over this past year as i believe that it is because of him that i managed to get an A* in my moudules. my physics teacher last year told me i was 'apalling' and you don't go from apalling to A* on your own! so yeah i know this question is a bit petty and trivial but i would like some advice....card? or tell him in person? thank you!

I'm sure he will appreciate it - most teachers try very hard and often don't get to hear how much of a difference they make. Just tell him (or write in a card) basically what you've written there about how much he's helped you (excluding the undying love part, of course) ;).

 aww im sorry to hear you won't be getting him next year! that's not to say you can't pop in to speak to him sometimes though :-) glad to hear you're not considering telling him how you feel though, that's refreshing to hear.
I think it's a lovely idea to let him know you've appreciated his teaching - he'll probably be touched to think he's genuinely helped someone achieve good grades!
Anyway I think you should give him a card AND tell him! As you give him the card, just tell him you think he's a great teacher, and he's really helped you this year and you just wanted to let him know. It's nice to give him a card though.
Not to sound like a really bad influence as well, but i finished my gcses this time last year and gave my teach a card and now he's like my best mate :-) though that's where im keeping it atm, although I do have quite a soft spot for him :) lol
if you need to chat just message me, il be glad to help you out.

 Hey!
I've Been lucky and had some amazing teachers throughout school & college.
Personally i find it better just to thank them in person. But if your shy just send them an email =)
Best of Luck
