I want / I would like / Would you
Hello. こんにちは。Thank you for reading! It is the rainy season in Japan.
I have a question. If you can, please correct my sentences and answer a question.
When I ask my language partners only just met them, I usually said "I want you to correct my sentences." or "I want you to teach me."
Today I searched how to say asking and learn it. 'Would you' is politer than 'I would like you to' and 'I would like you to' is politer than 'I want you to'. In my case, what should I say?

I want / I would like / Would you
Hello. こんにちは。Thank you for reading! It is the rainy season in Japan. I have a question. If you can, please correct my sentences and answer a question. When I ask my language partners that I only just met, I usually say: "I want you to correct my sentences." or "I want you to teach me.". Today, I searched how to be more polite. Is 'Would you' politer than 'I would like you to' and is 'I would like you to' politer than 'I want you to'. In my case, what should I say?
'Would' is politer than 'Want'. I guess in your case it would be something like: "Would you be willing to teach me English?"
