Anyone out there willing to help is welcome.
OK, let's see. I believe this is better written as, "Sensei wa daibun
no shukudai sasemasu ka?" No need to include "gakusei" (student)
since the object is understood. Also, your use of "o" (drect object
marker) gives them impression that the teacher made the homework do
something. If you are emphasizing the teacher instead of the action,
replace "wa" with "ga".

That is rather awkward. "Watashi ga eigo wo oshiete hayaku jôzu ni
narimasu" would sound good. Since it seems you are emphasizing "I" in
the sentence, this translation would be suitable. Or, if you are
saying that because you are teaching the student English that he will
improve? If so, then something like "Watashi ga eigo wo oshieru no de
hayaku jôzu ni narimasu", would be even better. What do you wish to
emphasize in your sentence? Some more information will help us to
understand the sentence better.

Correct. However, the "ni" is not necessary. If this is meant to be
an exclamation, add "yo" at the end of the sentence.

Not correct. "Ima tegami wo kaku koto ga dekimasen" is the way to
write this sentence. "Kaite dekimasen" is not correct. If you wish to
use a shorter construction, simply use the potential form of the verb
so that you have, "Ima tegami ga kakemasen." We use "ga" here since
we refer to a state of being rather than an action and we are
emphasizing "tegami".

Write it as, "Kono hon wa yominikui desu" or the same sentence
with 'ga" instead of "wa", depending on emphasis. Or, for a longer
sentence, simply write, "Kono hon wo yomu koto wa muzukashii desu."
The word "koto" in here is a nominalizer that turns the clause into a
noun. It functions much like the gerund in English. The last sentence
recommended means something like, "Reading this book is difficult."

Usually, "(Machigai wo) teisei shite kudasai."
