What Students & Parents Say about CTT Classes

"This class was incredible. The books were amazing, the teacher [... gave a] perfect balance of lecture and guidance while allowing us students the freedom to explore, within reason, our own ideas about the book and its meanings. I learned so much from this class that will move with me throughout my life. Not to mention all the new friends I've made!"

- Megan, British Lit student

"What I love about Miss Mattson's class is the way that she ties spirituality in with great literature, teaching her students to look at both the faults and triumphs of novel characters to reflect, influence, and compare their own hearts to the characters', and also to learn from their mistakes. The online discussions with the other students is great, and the lectures and teachings always intriguing. Even while only at the second semester point, it feels like many of my classmates are my friends, and not just a group of students that I learn with. We laugh and bond while learning about some of the greatest novels... There is simply nothing like it! This has been my favorite class all year and I hope to take another class from Miss Mattson again!"

- Shelby, British Lit student

"The class was perfect for my daughter! Although she already had a passion for literature, the class allowed her an outlet for that love as well as deepened her knowledge and understanding of good literature. I feel her skills were sharpened in the areas of composition, poetry, and rhetoric. I was particularly impressed with the profound thought that went into Miss Mattson's critique of her compositions. Miss Mattson's enthusiasm for literature definitely made an impression on my daughter and took her to new levels. I am very thankful for her instruction."

"Ok, you rock, Miss Mattson! I officially am sending all my kids to you for instruction!  Your feedback is exactly what my son needed and addressed the areas to improve....We are so excited to have you running the class and taking over this aspect of instruction. Mucho appreciate your hard work and caring about the kids."

My husband and I want to thank you for the thorough job that you did grading our son's paper. We can tell you spent much time and thought, and we want you to know that we greatly appreciate it. You are a very dedicated teacher, and we are blessed to have our son be a part of your class. Literature and writing are not his first love; however he tells me how much he is enjoying the class and your teaching. He says how he is really learning in this class. Thank you!
