Class 101 Pittsburgh - Irwin, Pennsylvania

Shannon Toret

John and his team are phenomenal! They guided us through what would have been a stressful, long process and made preparing for college very manageable and honestly even enjoyable. Using their services for our child’s Junior and Senior year was incredibly helpful. They all have personalities that are well tailored to working with high school students. Class 101 and John’s team were highly recommend to us from other parents and we highly recommend for anyone who is embarking the college preparation process.

Initially, I was in search of a SAT review course for my smart and strong-willed daughter. What we received was a comprehensive, personalized, thoughtful, resourceful, and respectful navigation through the entire high school to college labyrinth. John and his staff did work with my daughter to improve her test scores effectively, but more importantly they worked with her to find out what she liked, what she was good at, and how to achieve her educational goal in a way that she would have a useful and desired degree in the end. They worked together to set her on a path to meet her goals. Class 101 was with her each step of the way- testing, applying, picking schools, application essay refinements, finding and applying for scholarships, and accepting an offer. My tremendous gratitude to the Class 101 for their guidance as I know it saved me many many arguments with my daughter - priceless….

John was great to work with! He was very helpful with the entire process, from narrowing down majors, studying for the SATs and ACTs, completing the college application process and essay writing to interview prep and then the financial aide process too. He has great insight into how the process works and gives valuable recommendations along the way. He really made a difference with this process both with his knowledge and with pointing us in the right direction for success based on my son’s interests and abilities. I am glad he was a resource for us and we also have my younger daughter working with him now! He’s very accessible to parents and gets back to you quickly.

We highly recommend and have used Class 101 Pittsburgh-East for my oldest two daughters. John and team are AMAZING and we will certainly continue to use them for my younger two also! They were so helpful and walked us through every step in choosing the right college for our girls! They are helpful and knowledgeable about every aspect of the college journey!!

John is Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! His guidance and support helped us through what could’ve easily been a nightmare college application process. There are no words to explain how stressful the college application process can be. From the very beginning, John made everything so simple and streamlined. My student was unsure of where she even wanted to apply and he helped her with identifying schools, the application process, scholarship opportunities and all the way to acceptances. For me it’s a no brainer, we will be calling him up again in a year for our next child!! I don't think we would have completed everything without help. Thank you Class 101 Pittsburgh!!

I cannot recommend class 101 enough. John and Heather were so wonderful to work with. My daughter enjoyed working with them so much. She looked forward to her meetings and made applying for colleges a lot less stressful. My daughter got into her dream school and we can’t thank class 101 enough for all they did to guide us on this journey.

My daughter and I loved working with John Izzo. He was extremely helpful, offered practical advice and tips and made the whole process almost stress - free. More than anything, it allowed us to not worry about things and stay out of our daughter’s way. She ended up being accepted to her #1 choice school ! She is off to Pepperdine University in the fall! Thanks so much, John and Class 101!
