The Class 101 Story

Donna was able to point me in the right direction

Class 101 really helped guide myself and my parents through the entire process of getting accepted into college. I had no idea where to start with any of it, but Donna was able to point me in the right direction. I wish I had started when I was a sophomore at least, but I'm glad I found it when I did. I bumped my ACT score up from a 27 to a 30, picked out the college that would be the best fit, and got as many scholarships I could. I know for a fact if I had tried to do all of this on my own, it wouldn't have turned out as great as it did. Class 101 makes the transition from high school to college as stress free as possible.

We’ll be enrolling our other two children when they become freshman!

We signed up our oldest for Class 101 in the 9th grade because she has a difficult time with standardized tests. We wanted to get a head start on improving her test scores for college entry. Donna has helped her with study skills, organization, and test anxiety. She tracks and keeps up with volunteer hours, community service, extra-curricular activities, tests, and grades to see which areas need attention or improvement. She helps us find access to additional workshops and hobbies that our daughter is interested in pursuing (like drama and theater). We attend the meetings with guest speakers from colleges and universities provided through Class 101. Donna has also found colleges for us to consider based on our daughter's interests.
We look forward to her continued help and guidance with college entry and scholarship applications. We'll be enrolling our other two children when they become freshman!

Donna has given my daughter individualized ACT instruction

Class 101 (Donna) offers so much more than ACT prep classes. Donna has given my daughter individualized ACT instruction, guidance in selecting classes, information about how to choose the best university for her, help in completing applications and most importantly, the confidence to pursue her dreams for the future.

Donna helps navigate through the dreaded applications

So glad we met with Donna at Class 101 last year. Wish we would have found her during Freshmen or Sophomore year. She has been a lifesaver. The ACT classes have helped our daughter increase her score by several points and helped her be more confident when taking the test. The Class 101 part of it has been a huge weight lifted off of us because Donna helps navigate through the dreaded applications, essays, planning and financial aid. She meets with our daughter often and they go over everything. Less nagging for me and it is teaching her to be even more responsible with deadlines. We have also used the tutoring part of Class 101 and witnessed a significant difference in her test-taking skills in the classroom. Less anxiety = More confidence. Thank you Class 101 for letting me focus on the fun parts of my daughter's Senior Year!!!

With Class 101, we have an excellent chance at scholarships

If I could give Class 101 and Donna Hill 50 Stars, I would! Having only one child, we only get one chance to figure this whole "college thing" out, and Donna has made all the difference in the world. Not only has she helped our son to score in the 30's on his ACT, she is helping us in identifying the right colleges and helping our son find out where his heart and capabilities lie. With Class 101, we have an excellent chance at scholarships to help with college, but BEST of all...he will have a very good idea of his career choices and where he has the highest aptitude for the right career. All of this will help him choose the RIGHT school too! Best investment in our son's future we've ever made!

Class 101 is the best investment parents of high schoolers can make

Donna has coached, mentored, tutored, given guidance, coached for ACT, alerted us to all deadlines relating to FASFA, scholarships, college applications, and college selection starting in the 10th grade through high school graduation and beyond. Class 101 is the best investment parents of high schoolers can make to ensure their child’s future and ease the stress of knowing what to do next, every step of the way.
