Kevin Lowrie

Owner / Academic Coach / College Planner

Meet Kevin Lowrie – The Coach Who Helps Kids Dream Big and Parents Breathe Easy

Kevin believes every student has a purpose—and with the right guidance, that purpose can lead to the perfect college and a bright future.

A former educator and engineer with deep roots in New Mexico’s academic world (TVI/CNM, UNM, and Sandia Labs), Kevin stepped away from corporate life to follow his heart: helping teens discover their gifts and guiding families through the maze of college planning. As the owner of Class 101 Sandia Heights, Kevin combines practical tools, heartfelt coaching, and a clear process that makes life easier for parents and builds confidence in students. He’s coached many families and led young people to find their "why," raise their test scores, build standout resumes and win scholarships that change lives. With two boys of his own, Kevin understands the pressures families face. That’s why every session is designed to ease stress and build momentum—so your student can rise, and you can rest. When he’s not mentoring teens or helping parents plan, you’ll find Kevin adventuring with his sons—surfing, snowboarding, camping, or hitting the road to explore something new.

Our Students Know Best

Thanks to Class 101, I feel prepared and confident to begin my college journey. I felt lost going into my senior year and didn’t know where to start with applications, scholarships, and choosing a school. My college planner, Kevin, helped me tackle this intimidating process and calm my nerves. I dreamed of going out of state for college, but the idea seemed impossible without huge amounts of student debt. Class 101 has guided me through my options and made my ideal college experience possible! I am so glad to be one step closer to pursuing my dream career.

This is the second time my family has worked with Class 101. With my college planner’s help, I was able to improve my grades and write an amazing essay while abroad in Frankfurt, Germany. This made the distance between the two of us negligible, even before social distancing measures were put in place! Without Class 101, I would have been lost within the endless information required for applying to college. Thank you for making this difficult transition year so much more bearable!

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.
