Review for Huntington Learning Center of Woodstock…read more Our experience with the Huntington Learning Center of Woodstock this summer was unfortunately disappointing--especially considering we had worked with them in the past, under a different director, with no issues at all. The change in management has significantly impacted the professionalism and overall experience. We enrolled both of our sons for summer tutoring and had initially agreed upon a discounted rate with the previous director for enrolling multiple children. However, that agreement was later disregarded by the owner, who insisted we pay the full amount--$5,000--upfront, even though no assessments or personalized learning plans had been completed yet. We clearly stated our intention to pay weekly while Huntington conducted evaluations and developed a structured academic plan. Instead of honoring that, the owner repeatedly pressured us and even interrupted one of my son's tutoring sessions--not only disrupting his learning but also directly questioning him, a minor, about how he planned to pay for the session. We found this to be highly inappropriate and unprofessional. Despite no game plan being shared and assessments still pending, she sold expensive books to our sons--knowing they had a credit card meant only for weekly session payments--and charged the books without our prior approval. Shortly afterward, she emailed us stating that services would be discontinued because we hadn't paid the full $5,000 upfront. We attempted to continue the program at the Alpharetta location, where the director initially had everything set up for us to start. However, after speaking with the Woodstock owner, he reversed course and refused to work with us as well. We then requested the academic assessments we had already paid for. The owner first refused to provide them, and after we pointed out that the assessments were conducted during paid sessions, she reluctantly agreed to send them but said she would not explain the results. We told her that was fine--but we never received anything. Fortunately, we are now working with a different tutor outside of Huntington. While his hourly rate is slightly higher, the total time built into his program is less than half of what Huntington wanted to charge us $5,000 for--and we are already seeing amazing results. After this experience, my older son even admitted that Huntington seemed to intentionally move slowly to extend the timeline and charge for more sessions. We're sharing this review to help other families make an informed decision. Our past experience with Huntington Woodstock was smooth and productive under the former director, but since the change in leadership, our experience has been marked by broken agreements, unprofessional behavior, and poor communication. We're relieved to have found a more effective and transparent alternative.

As a former educator, I am appalled at the unprofessional and rude attitude displayed by the…read moredirector at the Woodstock GA location. Conferences to review the initial assessment were scheduled and then cancelled on two consecutive days. The staff is evidently not privy to her schedule to assist them when they are scheduling conferences or she approved them (one employee put me on hold to speak with her about availability) and then had staff call me to reschedule due to a meeting one day and "administrative" duties the next. When she called at my request so that a schedule could be resolved for the conference she was rude, stated that conferences were never scheduled before noon ( I was offered several 11:30am slots or from 9-3 on the second day), and stated that having the assessor involved in the conference was not the way they did things even though that was a request that was granted when I scheduled/rescheduled on both dates. I questioned why the communication between her and her staff was so lacking and this made her mad. She said that now the assessor would not be in the conference. I stated, while being rudely talked over repeatedly, that none of this was shared verbally or with a brochure when I iinitially contracted for services and that as educators we look at the whole child to assess strengths and weaknesses so it was important that the person who assessed him provide feedback on demeanor, attentiveness, etc. during assessment. She (the director) had never even met the child. She never offered a time/date for a conference. I stated that this was not in the child's best interest and that I'd just like my money back and she could keep the assessment results. She said no and that I could pick up the results(no conference for explanation or suggestions). She then said "I have another conference and hung up on me. If this is indicative of how Huntington works then my professional advice is to steer clear of them if you want help for your child.

I would highly recommend Jocelyn to any parent who wants to see an improved difference in their child's knowledge and testing.

Someone I used to know was bullied lots, and parents had to call administrators over and over, and they would never do anything, even though they said they would "take care of it." They could use some more cleaning, I got terribly sick almost every month due to their lack of cleaning. Often saw cockroaches crawling behind the bathrooms signs, and there would be cockroaches crawling all over the walls. Teachers were Ok. Bathrooms were pretty trashed, like they hadn't been cleaned in years. Clubs were fun. In conclusion, I wish I would've left sooner Sorry if this seems harsh, but it's my honest review.

Extra benefit: their school photos are really great!
