Our Springfield Students Say It Best

Class 101 was an exceptional program for my boys. It gave them the tools they needed to take the lead in the college prep, application, and decision-making process. By them taking the lead in the process, they ended up in colleges that were the best fit for them!

Laurie was super helpful throughout the entire college process! Would be so lost without Class 101!

Charlie

Texas Christian Univerisity

We cannot thank Laurie at Class 101 enough for the incredible support she provided our daughter throughout the college application process. What started as an overwhelming and confusing journey quickly turned into a focused and manageable experience, all thanks to Laurie’s guidance.

From organizing college applications to helping with ACT prep and improving our daughter’s score, Laurie was there every step of the way. She brought clarity and structure to a process that often feels chaotic, and she did it with patience, insight, and genuine care.

Thanks to Laurie’s support, our daughter was accepted into every college she applied to. Laurie turned what could have been an extremely stressful few months into a series of manageable steps and real accomplishments.

We are so grateful for her dedication and highly recommend Class 101 to any family navigating the college admissions process.

Very helpful in both preparing you for the ACT and college. Each meeting was very personalized to what I needed to work on. It helped me narrow down my colleges and decide where I wanted to go. They also help you with personal statements and scholarship applications. I was ahead of everyone on my college applications because of Class 101!

Anna

University of Missouri

Class 101 with Laurie is amazing! My son started with a 26 on the ACT. After taking the ACT prep class and meeting with Laurie every few weeks, his score jumped up to a 31!! I’m looking forward to the college visits and essay prep coming up soon. These are all things I would have struggled to fit into my busy work schedule. It is great to know that someone else is working to make sure my son is prepared. The program more than pays for itself!
