1. MyClassHelp Journey
MyClassHelp did not begin as a formal company. It started in 2019 simply as students helping other students. I was still in school myself at the time. I saw classmates drowning in deadlines and struggling with unclear instructions, so I stepped in to help.
What began as casual support quickly turned into a flood of requests. I realized capable students were failing not because they lacked intelligence, but because they lacked time. That was the moment this moved from a personal side project into something that needed to be built properly.
How It Started
Everything began on Reddit. We had no website and no formal systems. I just posted in academic subreddits and replied directly to students who needed support. The demand was immediate.
At first, I handled every single assignment myself. I averaged about two or three orders a day. Then COVID hit. Universities moved online and the workload exploded. Suddenly I was managing ten or more assignments every single day.
Scaling Beyond One Person
It became impossible to do it all alone. I started looking for credible writers who could actually write to university standards. Finding reliable people was difficult, and many did not make the cut. But over time, I built a small and dependable team. In fact, some of those early writers are still working with us today.
This was a critical time because bad actors had started flooding the market. Students were getting scammed, which only reinforced why we needed to maintain strict quality control.
Building Our Own Platform
In 2022, the landscape changed. Reddit updated its algorithms and started shadowbanning accounts for promotional content. Our visibility dropped without warning. We realized we could no longer rely on a third-party platform to reach the students who needed us.
That is when I decided to build MyClassHelp as an independent site. I have a Computer Science background, but building a production-ready system from scratch still took a full year. I had to learn how to manage a website, handle infrastructure, and build workflows while keeping the service running.
Where We Are Today
Today, we have supported more than 10,000 students worldwide, with nearly 80% of them based in the United States. We did not get here without bumps in the road. We made mistakes. We learned from them. We refined our processes. Every improvement you see on the site today came from listening to honest feedback and focusing on slow, controlled growth rather than shortcuts.
