History
Best in Class started as a personal value held dear to founders Hao and Lisa Lam. Above all else, the Lams believe that education is the gift of a lifetime.
After Hao and Lisa fled Vietnam in the late 1980s, he worked tirelessly to put himself through school at the University of British Columbia, where he tutored his classmates through complex coursework and difficult exams. It was like a spark ignited—Hao knew that educating others was his ultimate passion in life.
Best in Class opened its first center in 1995 in the heart of Seattle. Due to the immense demand for their services, the company decided to expand their business by offering franchise opportunities. Since then, the company has grown steadily, offering an ever wider range of programs and serving over 40 communities and counting across the United States.
