Our Springfield Students Say It Best

Laurie has helped me succeed by implementing meetings to assist me with my college needs. I have attended multiple ACT workshops that have increased my score, and been assisted with writing essays by multiple people. Class 101 has prepared me to succeed at my chosen college, and improved my opportunities along the way. This is what I will continue to recommend to every incoming senior!!

Paige

University of Missouri

Class 101 was an essential part of our daughter’s success in college prep. Laurie was so beneficial in getting us prepared for all things college-ei., ACT prep, college tours, scholarships, and early action admission, these are just a few of the benefits of Class 101. Because of Laurie’s attention to detail and my daughter’s hard work she is going to her dream college! Thank you Laurie and Class 101 for making Avery’s dream a reality.

Michelle

Parent Testimonial

I’ve always had great experiences at the Class 101 in Southwest Mo! Laurie was always very helpful and made sure I reached my goals in a timely fashion. Without the help of Class 101, I would have been completely lost in the college planning process and I doubt I would have ended up at the school I will be attending in the fall.

Avery

Thank you Laurie for all the guidance and expertise in college prep for my daughters. I would highly recommend this service as it covers all the bases for college preparation. Laurie is so relatable and keeps things organized and manageable.
