Hi Ildze! 

To raise expectations is to make one or more people expect that something will be very good or successful.

For example: 'David has been telling everyone how amazing his house is. He's really raising their expectations' - because David has said his house is amazing, everyone now expects his house to be amazing.

'I met the professor last week and I really liked him. He raised my expectation for the class' - because I met the professor and liked him, my expectations for his class have been raised. 

Let me know if you have any other questions!
