# Entrepreneur Magazine: Best in Class Franchisee Takes Kids' Education Into Her Own Hands

**TL;DR:** Priya Venkat, a Best in Class franchisee, opened a tutoring center in Plano-Allen, Texas, after using the program for her own children. She was inspired by her first-person experience as a mother and decided to become a franchisee with Best in Class.

## Story

Priya Venkat considers herself “the original Best in Class mom,” because she first heard about the program six years ago when looking for tutoring options for her own children.

“After visiting ‘household name’ centers, I was convinced that their curriculums were outdated, repetitive and didn’t offer the necessary strength to uphold advanced lessons,” she said. “In 2007, I brought my four-year-old to Best in Class and have never doubted my decision since.”

It was her first-person experience as a mother that inspired her to open her own center in Plano-Allen, TX, a mere four months after relocating to the state for her husband’s job.

“I used my personal experience and what I saw going on in my own children’s school to inform my decision-making about becoming a franchisee with Best in Class," Venkat said.
