"As a longtime teacher myself, I was thoroughly pleased with Alyssa Carr's English Literature class and its value for my high school son's academic and personal development.  Ms. Carr provides a rare combination of deep appreciation for her subject, enthusiasm for sharing it, and a thoughtful approach to teaching.  She is positive, encouraging, and understanding with students and their individual situations.  Yet she also pushes them to develop their understanding, appreciation, and creative analysis.  All of this, together with outstanding communication with my wife and I as parents, made this class an all around success and one of our son's all-time favorites.  Highly recommended!"
