That...explains a lot. Google Translate can be useful in certain situations, but please don't use it for serious translation/transcription. Instead, use Jisho or an equivalent trusted JN-EN dictionary to check any kanji you're not sure about.

As for what's "flawed", see the second paragraph I wrote above. I suggest going over Team ONIBE's callbooks for an idea of what romaji looks like when written by TLers. Admittedly, there are some inconsistencies in those (due to the time constraints of trying to release them in time for a Live), but you should be able to see some patterns.

Your teacher wouldn't say it was "wrong" because romaji has several different systems. Rather than "right" or "wrong", it'd be more accurate to say that one way might be "preferred". What most people opt to do is to go with the generally accepted forms of romanization in the TL community unless official rules say otherwise or the romaji would clash with an English word.

For example, Shukashuu's last name would normally be written as "Saitou" under common romanization rules, but the official spelling used by LL is "Saito", which is why the Wikia uses this spelling. Same goes for "Ayase Eli" (official) vs. "Ayase Eri" (how her name would normally be romanized), "Kazuno Leah" (official) vs. "Kazuno Ria" (standard romanization), and so on.

As for an example of the latter (romaji clashing with English words), Team ONIBE used the term "START LINE" instead of "sutaato rain" (standard romaji, and what's currently written on the Wikia) for AoJump in our callbooks. This was to prevent confusion with the English word "rain". The more correct term here would usually be "sutaato rain", but since the aim of the callbooks was to have English speakers be able to chant along to the songs, the decision was made to have that term in English rather than romaji (since START LINE is an English term anyway, there's not too much need for romaji there).

The "nda", "n'n", and "tch" are the three common mistakes I've seen you make so far. If you know enough Japanese to be able to make the edits on your own, feel free to do so. Here's some general rules to follow:

- OOOっち = OOOcch, not tch. "Hitoribocchi" should be one word.

- だね = da ne

- OOOんです/だろう/でしょう/etc. = OOOn desu/darou/deshou/etc.

- OOOんだ = OOOnda

- I already explained the "n'n" thing above. One thing for the "n'n" fix - for now, if you're unsure about it, just stick to editing words like "minna", "sonna", and "konna". Sometimes the apostrophe is actually needed, such as in "ken'o" (as writing "keno" would imply the incorrect pronunciation "ke-no" rather than "ken-o") in Yoshiko's solo song.
