Both my 6 and 9 year old have been going to Huntington for more than a year now and love it. The…read moreone-on-one help they get is unbeatable and they look forward to going. They are both doing better at school and their academic and personal confidence are growing because of the help and support Huntington provides.

DO NOT GO TO HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTER unless your family exemplifies 1950s America! I recently…read moretook my child there for an assessment hoping to retain services from them for assistance with reading and comprehension. I was told the assessment would be 4 hours which seemed a bit lengthy but when I arrived to pick up my child the tests were still not finished and I was told that my child was actually finishing early! I later met with Bill Newman to review the assessments. The tests did not tell me anything I didn't already know my child had struggles with and we spent an hour and a half rehashing the same concerns. My child divides their time between my home and their father's home and Bill kept saying that he needed to meet with the rest of the family. I explained that he could contact them and set up time or talk with them on the phone. I also explained that if his concern was not being on the same page, we were all wiling to follow whatever plan was put in place. Prior to this assessment we had all agreed to doing whatever would be best for our kid. I explained to Bill that it might be difficult for them to meet with him in person as they have a business and small children with another on the way. He said he would call Stepmom to discuss. Bill then said he did not want to set my child up for failure and I asked him how that would be the case. He said that if different things were happening in each home my child would fail. WHAT?!! I reiterated that we would follow the plan and then said, so you're telling me that some tutoring wouldn't help? He said no, of course not. Well, please explain, I said. Bill then stated that Huntington has a 95% success rate and his numbers could be impacted. I was flabbergasted!! Bill then said he would not go forward with creating a plan for my child until he could speak with the rest of the family. At this point, Stepmom has called Bill numerous times and he has refused to speak with her on the phone. How incredibly unprofessional and antiquated!! Needless to say we will be attempting to find other resources for my child. We feel discriminated against based upon our family situation. Apparently if you aren't married, in the same household with 2.5 children, Huntington will not work with you!! I have come to believe that their numbers for their success rate are falsely inflated due to being unwilling to help anyone who needs the help. A true statistic would be based upon results from helping anyone who could afford the service and needs the help!! I made the incorrect assumption that Huntington Learning Center is there to help children, not that the children are there to help Huntington!

JEI performed an assessment and followed up by going through the test in understanding why and assessed the logical processes (logic) the student was using in performing the task mathematical steps they make. In my mind this was the difference for my son. We went back to a tutoring service because my son was in danger of failing middle school math and was in IED (Special Ed). After a few months, he not only caught up but was beginning to accel. The program was so successful for him, he remained in the program for about 1.5 yrs and has had A's in math ever since. His success has carried on into his second year at Jesuit high where his now on the Honor Roll. His experience and work ethic he developed there is a direct result of his achievements in all of his subjects. But must also stress, parental support and keeping the your child accountable. The kids have to do the WORK!!!

We started the process during our daughter's freshman year in high school. By starting early, Sara was really able to guide my daughter through career exploration, summer activities, volunteer opportunities, college application/essay process, and so much more. Sara was always available to us and we always felt she was supporting us in the utmost way. We had major life events that occurred over the last 3-4 years and Sara went out of her way to support us and find help to our answers. She truly wants to see her students exceed through the high school/college preparation experience. She feels part of our family and we will truly miss connecting with her through our meetings. I can't thank her enough for her generosity, positivity, and encouragement through what can be a very stressful experience. With Sara's help and my daughter's hard work and commitment, she has wonderful colleges to choose from. Thank you Sara and the College Planning Center!

I highly recommend EES. My son was struggling and reading below his 2nd grade level. We tried…read moretalking to his school but weren't really able to get him the help he needed. His confidence at school was so low it was heartbreaking. Thank goodness a friend recommended EES to us. Now as a 4th grader we are seeing my son read at grade level with CONFIDENCE. We owe it to Carrie (the owner) and the teachers that have worked with my son. We love the one-on-one help EES provides, the open communication with Carrie, flexible scheduling, and the teachers my son has had. If your child is struggling at school, I would definitely not hesitate to call EES and get the help your child deserves to become a confident "reader."

As both a mom and a communications professional, I tend to ask a lot of detailed questions -…read moreespecially around student privacy, media use, and social media policies. With everything happening in the digital landscape right now, including the rise of deepfake technology, this is a major area of focus for me. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly receptive and patient as I walked through my (many!) questions. They provided clear, thoughtful answers and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. That level of transparency and professionalism really stood out. At one point, they asked whether they could quote me in their newsletter. I requested that only my name be used and that my daughter's name not be included. Their response was immediate and respectful - absolutely. That kind of responsiveness to parent preferences speaks volumes. After previously experiencing a situation elsewhere where my child's image was used without clear written consent, it was genuinely refreshing to interact with a team that approaches families with kindness, professionalism, and respect for privacy concerns. Grateful for the thoughtful communication and parent-centered approach.

I am so happy that I enrolled my child in Fun Factory Preschool this past school year. My child…read morelearned a tremendous amount not only in academics but in confidence also. My child has really flourished from being here. I love the approach of play based learning before TK and it following a school based schedule similar to what a child may have to follow once in TK. My child was always so happy to go to school and talk about it and that's what gave me confidence that I chose the right preschool. I HIGHLY recommend this preschool but I know that's because of Ms. Meenu and Ms. Ellen. Their communication with not only the students but with parents is unmatched. As a parent, you will be seen/heard if you have any concerns, thoughts, and questions. They care for all their students with such grace. We loved having them as our teachers, they are amazing! I know my child will miss them so much. Thank you so much Ms. Meenu and Ms. Ellen you made our preschool year unforgettable :') .

After having my kids attend for many years, we've consistently been pleased with the education they receive, along with the personal, hands-on approach that comes from being a smaller school.

Both of my children have grown not only in their learning, but also in their confidence, values, and overall development. The small class sizes allow for meaningful attention, and the personal relationships students form with teachers and the head of school, really make a difference. My wife and I would highly recommend anyone taking the time to check out the Golden Hills program. It's a phenomenal school experience.
