Get to Know Us

After 10+ years in education, I was tired of working for private companies that put profits over students. So, I searched through a dozen franchises before finding Class 101, where I can truly help students and families navigate college admissions the right way.

Why Does This Matter to Me?

As a first-generation college student, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know which colleges to apply to, how to apply, what major to choose, how to tackle FAFSA, or how to find scholarships. I didn’t even know what classes to take. And honestly? I felt alone. I don’t think I ever spoke to my high school college counselor once.

That’s exactly why I started this business. My goal is to make sure no student feels lost or alone in this process. I want to guide families so they not only get into the right school—but can also afford it.

Our Students Know Best

I had worked with Levi in the past, but this was my first time partnering with Class 101. I wanted to study engineering in college, but not just any typical college either. I wanted to set my aim much higher. Class 101 helped me do that. I had so many deadlines, essays to write, letters of recommendations to submit, FAFSA to complete, etc.. Levi and Class 101 took care of EVERYTHING! I applied to elite, tier 1 universities, and out of the 12 I applied for I got into 7 of them!! I will be going to Purdue University in the fall and I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this without Class 101. Thank you!

Because of Class 101… wow, I really don’t think I can put it into words. I’m headed to my dream school. I have a resume that I’m proud of. I got my ACT score up. I’ve experienced the impact that positive affirmation can have on an overscheduled and under slept teenager. I understand the research process to find a school that fits for me. I’m not going to fall into the never-ending pit of despair that is student debt. I’m ready for whatever happens next.

I truly am.

Because of Class 101 I have grown as a student and as a person. Preparing for college can be tricky for high schoolers. Picking a college, deciding a major, and preparing for the ACT are just some of the things that Class 101 has been able to help me with over the last few years. My college planner, Tom, was able to guide me through one of the most important chapters in my life and I am forever grateful. I joined Class 101 as a sophomore with very little idea of what direction I wanted to take my life in. Now, I am just a few months from beginning my first semester of nursing school at the University of Louisville. Without the help of Class 101, I would not have as much confidence in myself and my decisions. Every moment over the last few years has been worth it.
