Is this sentence wrong?
As a humble opinion to you, as I always mention to my students, I would suggest that you consider the main focus and overall "picture" of a sentence or passage after reading it.
I think the above sentence is so wrong.
Does it mean 'I' is 'a humble opinion'?
Should there be a 'what' before 'I always mention to my students'?
Thank you.

It seems like the author was trying to be deferential to his readers. All he really did was create an awkward and incorrect sentence. I would correct it as follows: I always tell my students that they should consider the main focus and overall "picture" of a sentence or passage after reading it.
