Huntington Learning Center

My son was in 7^th grade and having a really hard time with school, so we decided to look into Huntington. His assessment showed that he was testing out at a 4^th grade level in math and 6^th grade level in language arts, of course that was concerning. We went ahead and signed him up, and it was the best decision we could have made! My husband was a little skeptical, and thought it was a big expense and could it really make a difference? After our first parent meeting, where they sit down with you and go over the progress, my husband had a change of heart. Within a month our son was doing 10 times better, his understanding was there, his grades were coming up and most importantly, his confidence with school work was better then it had ever been. The teachers are patient with him and always encouraged him when he was having a hard time. He’s completed all his hours, and is now starting the 8^th grade with the confidence and ability we have always hoped for. Thanks for everything Huntington!

Fantastic! My daughter was really struggling with reading (at about a kindergarten level when entering 2^nd grade), and we went to Huntington for help. After a few months of tutoring, her improvement is unbelievable. While she still has more to learn in order to catch up to her grade, her attitude toward reading has completely changed. She now reads to her little sister every night :)

I wanted to express my gratitude to Dan, Kendra and all the staff at Huntington for the assistance they provided my son. He is a Junior here in Pleasanton and needed some help with his Math and English skills. As a result of the tutoring, he was able to improve his PSAT and SSAT scores to qualify for a full scholarship at all three of the private College Prep boarding schools he applied to.
I highly recommend them and will be sending our younger daughter there when the time is right!

I brought my son here because he was struggling with his grades and was beginning to have a negative attitude towards school and learning. It was amazing what they were able to figure out in terms of our issues and how to solve them. Now my son really enjoys reading and learning and his grades are all’s 3’s 3+‘s. I’ve found the confidence they were able to give my son even more important than the grades as now he’s motivated academically. I highly recommend them to any parent.

HLC has been such a benefit for both of our children (14 years old and 11 years old.) Both of them were struggling in school and were seeing private tutors for math. The tutors were simply helping them with the a specific concept. HLC helped them build a foundation that they could build from and brought them up to grade level. They began in May with an estimated amount of hours they believed would get them to the middle of 9^th and 6^th grade. At first, it was very overwhelming for both kids because we started in the summer. It was a huge commitment for our entire family. They got through it and now the benefits are showing with both holding all A’s and B’s. Not only are their grades much better, but they also have confidence in themselves!
HLC was flexible with our schedule and always tried to accommodate us if need be. The teachers were great and Dan (Director) held a meeting every 3 weeks to go over their progress. The only negative for me is it is pretty expensive. However, we felt it was a necessary investment for our children’s education.

Our daughter had a very tough school year last year, after starting new in her Livermore middle school in January. Math and core classes were all suffering, and she was looking at mandatory summer school.
We had a friend who used Huntington in New Jersey, so we gave them a try here. Blondie started with a three hour assessment test (taken over two sessions) and we were impressed with the findings. They made perfect sense to all of us, and they devised an excellent plan to address the math and reading comprehension issues. We got an in depth look at the reading materials in particular, and the way they progressed seemed perfect. We agreed to send Blondie there after school for two evenings per week, then ramp things up over the summer, four mornings per week, so she would be just above grade level when school restarted this Fall.
Worked like a charm! Blondie’s reading comprehension tests showed excellent progress, her math teacher has complemented her on improvements she’s seen, and science is going well. So far, almost all A’s.
Hats off to the managing director who guided us through her schedule, met with us regularly to discuss progress, and was just a pleasure to work with. He had a positive, «we can do this» attitude that gave us confidence. Blondie loved coming here, and even though tomorrow is her last scheduled session, we are welcome to bring her back if she has a problem later on this year. All of her tutors were excellent. Highly recommended.

We have used Huntington for SAT prep for two kids and tutoring for a third child. Dan and Holly are really wonderful people. My kids did well under their guidance. I would definitely recommend using them.
