Appositive with/without comma

My sister an English teacher is a single mother.
My sister, an English teacher, is a single mother.
My sister the English teacher is a single mother.
My sister, the English teacher, is a single mother.
Thank you for advice.
My sister an English teacher is a single mother.
My sister, an English teacher, is a single mother.
My sister the English teacher is a single mother.
My sister, the English teacher, is a single mother.
Thank you for advice.

Thank you for reply. But the appositive here (an English teacher) is restrictive (because I have several sisters), are the comma before and after the appositive necessary?

Please somebody kindly confirm that it is correct to go without comma if the writer has more than one sisters:
My sister an English teacher is a single mother.
And advise which article is more proper to be used preceeding English teacher, an or the?
My sister an English teacher is a single mother.
And advise which article is more proper to be used preceeding English teacher, an or the?
