Huntington Learning Center

My family experience with Huntington learning center has been great. we have two of our children attending Huntington learning center, and they have made huge improvements in their academics. I recommend that parents give them a chance. The staff keeps in contact with the students teachers ensuring everyone is on the same page in regards to the students progress, and making sure there is a clear line of communication between all parties involved in your child academic future.

Rhonda H’s review was exactly right. $ 40+/hour/per child for 2 kids during 2006 – 2009. I was willing and able to invest this money for my children if it produced results. My daughter was in H.S. and son in middle school. There was NO one-​on-​one coaching, tutoring, and mentoring, only workbook lessons and someone correcting each one along the way, just like Rhonda said. They spent 99% of the time working independently. My son who is now in college and home for holiday break said it was like detention, I wish I had listened and probed further before forcing him to stay in the «program.» To top it off, they don’t allow re-​testing to assess any progress and results until after several hours and lots of money spent. So you keep burning through money until HLC says they can be re-​assessed. When we met with the person running the place, we were made to believe there would be one-​on-​one coaching, tutoring, and mentoring. Had they been up-​front about what we would receive, I would have bought age appropriate workbooks and assessment tests from a teacher’s store. Huntington was a money grab. They played on the need to have our children succeed. Where are the positive reviews?

After hearing the commercials for HLC over and over on the radio, we decided to check it out –to help our son who was struggling a bit in high school. We had our initial meeting, which was very lengthy and informative. Shortly thereafter our son went to the facility for benchmark testing and evaluation. Once the results were calculated my husband and I were brought in for another meeting to discuss the plan of action to improve our son’s studying and testing skills, along with his overall level of academic development and confidence. We signed the dotted line and the sessions began. What we had hoped (and were lead to believe) would have been one-​on-​one coaching, tutoring, and mentoring, coupled with workbook type lessons… turned out to be only workbook lessons and a «proctor» in the room to correct each one along the way. We learned from our son there was VERY little one-​on-​one time spent with what HLC refers to as” teachers” and most of the two-​hour sessions he spent working independently. Needless to say we were extremely disappointed when we realized we were paying thousands of dollars for our son to work through various workbooks, at various levels — on his own. There was no coaching, tutoring, or mentoring evident throughout the program Did we notice a difference in our son’s academic performance and confidence after nine months, which equated to over 200 hours spent at HLC, — not so much! To add insult to injury, when we returned the customer feedback survey, upon completion of the program, and included much of the same information included in this review — HLC was silent. No one has ever bothered to contact us!
