Yes, you can use a class teacher's letter as a recommendation for your master's application, especially if they know your academic abilities well.

However, most universities prefer recommendation letters from professors or academic advisors who can provide detailed insights into your academic performance and potential. If a professor's letter isn't possible, a strong letter from a class teacher that highlights your relevant strengths can still support your application.

The most effective recommendation comes from someone who knows you well and can give specific examples of your skills and achievements.
