Letter to a language teacher

[andycarmenjapanese8100]

あやせんせい、よろしくおねがいします。おしえてください。でもじかんがむずかしいです。すいようびのよるにひまですか？にほんのじかん19：00－00：00ぐらいにひま？もくようびもいいです。アンデイ。

Hello Aya, I'd like you to be my teacher. However, your available times are hard for me. Are you free in the evening (Japanese time) on Wednesday? Around 19:00-00:00 (Japanese time) is good for me. Thursday is good too. Andy.

This has already been sent but I'd like to know if I did anything wrong. I'm aware that the Japanese and English aren't a perfect match. I wrote the English first and then tried to get the Japanese as close as I could. The teacher in question has some English skills, so I sent it in both English and Japanese.

The reply:

こんにちは
リクエストをいただき、ありがとうございます。
いまは　いそがしいので、　あたらしい　せいとさんへの　じゅぎょうが　できません。
すみません。

Kon'nichiwa,
Rikuesuto o itadaki, arigatou gozaimasu. Ima wa isogashii node, atarashii seito-san e no(?) jugyou dekimasen.
Sumimasen.

Not sure about the bit I wrote in bold. "E" is a directional particle and "no" is possessive. I know it means "I can't do lessons for new students" but I don't think I've ever seen "e no" before.

アンディさん、
Firstly, you have to think about resister.
This is the first letter to your potential teacher therefore, the formality level should be high.
Once you start ますform, you have to keep using it.
Consequently, you should not use ひま？.
Secondly, particle definition is not only one.
へandのhave several functions.
The へのmeans “for”.
By the way, we have elite program which is private skype lessons if you want to learn more.

What is the formal version of "hima"?

Secondly, particle definition is not only one.
へandのhave several functions.
The へのmeans “for”.

Is that pronounced "e no" or "he no"?
