Our Chattanooga Students Say It Best

Was completely worth every bit of the Time and Money. I was able to raise my Composite ACT score from a 19 to a 26, and get accepted to my dream school after 5 weeks of attending class 101. The classes are super flexible to fit any schedule, and I would highly recommend to anyone prepping for the ACT or SAT.

Karen, with Class 101 Chattanooga, was beyond fabulous! She helped my daughter maintain academic success, achieve her test score aspirations, and navigate the college application process from start to finish. My daughter was accepted to every college of her dreams and is flourishing in her sophomore year. I don’t know how we would have managed such an exciting, yet daunting, college application year without Karen and Class 101!
