This is a review written by my son, a student of Ms. Denise Boulanger…read more As a long-time student of Denise Boulange of over 8 years, I whole-heartedly believe that little can compare to the monumental improvement of my English skill spurred by the persistent efforts of Ms. Denise. She has critiqued my school essays, advised me on my SAT skills, and collaborated to form several fantastic college applications. The college applications were especially of note; while However, I must emphasize that Ms. Denise's expertise extends beyond merely tutoring: we have discussed and studied topics as foreign to me as philosophy. While not overtly connected to standard academics, I have found these niche subjects as bolstering my literary and argumentative expertise (and my school grades of course). In short, if you wish to truly expand and challenge your English mastery, Ms. Denise is certainly an apt choice.

This is…read moreour daughter's review: "Denise tutored me this past year and her teaching not only dramatically increased my test scores, but also improved my overall writing. The skills she taught me have helped me in school (especially with timed writing assignments and on the AP tests) and I know I will continue to benefit from the skills I developed under Denise even after I go to college. She is a patient and caring teacher and I highly recommend her."

From my son who is a Senior at Sequoia HS:…read more At first I didn't know if I wanted a college counselor at my mom's request but Ryan exceeded all my expectations and I don't regret a thing. I was lost during the beginning of my senior year and Ryan guided me through everything. Making a college list to start and explaining the college process, the different portals, and of course the supplementals. This was just the start. From working with Ryan I was already able to get comfortable with the college apps process and the timeline which would leave me with the least amount of stress. College apps is a stressful time and experience but he helps you throughout and ensures that you will meet every deadline. On top of all that is his help on your essays. He first helps explain the prompt and brainstorms various ideas with you. He revises and looks over every essay, giving edits and feedback from an experienced perspective. He helps you boost your activities list to make sure it's the best it can be, and it has descriptions that college admission officers will like. I really am glad I had Ryan as my college tutor and only knowing him from the beginning on August, I feel like we got lots of work done through his guidance. Easily 5 stars

Our granddaughter has been going to Huntington since second grade. She is currently in third grade…read moreand we have seen how she has improved and gained confidence in her math studies. The way schools are teaching math today differs from how we learned many years ago. It can be frustrating for parents and grandparents to help with this new math. Our granddaughter likes her tutor and doesn't complain about going to tutoring and having someone else explain concepts (even though we wish the school that we pay for did a better job at this). A tutor can take the frustration away from us and our granddaughter which helps her to be more open to learning. Huntington has been flexible when a schedule change is necessary. Additionally, it is nice to see how our granddaughter has improved when we meet with Huntington for her progress reports. Admittedly, it is not inexpensive, but our hope is that it will give her the confidence and foundation to be successful in math in the future. Thank you to Geetanjali and Casey.

We are truly grateful to have our 1st Grader attending Huntington Learning Center.  We know our 1st…read moreGrader would be so far behind if we had not found them in the beginning of this Fall 2022 school year. Our son has excelled in just 4 months of attending Huntington Learning Center! Please believe me when I say that his academic improvements are night and day now.  In the beginning of the school year while our son was doing his "free-writing" homework we noticed that it wasn't actually writing, it was a bunch of letters, there was nothing to make of it. It is sad for me to say, but we had assumed it would get better from lessons at school. It didn't. Then one night our son shared with us that he was having a difficult time with writing & feels uncomfortable in class with other classmates teasing his writing skills. Immediately I searched for tutoring services. We went with Huntington Learning Center because of the reviews, curriculum offered, and we also felt our son would benefit from their core foundation. We wished we brought him sooner, actually we wished our school got back to teaching things like spelling & phonics, but I digress. We found the right place for our son to learn, gain confidence & excel in a safe & supportive environment. The team at Huntington Learning Center are exceptional. Our son absolutely adores his teacher. He looks forward to meeting with her for his lessons, and even wrote about how great she is in one of his free-writing assignments. Best of all, it was a legit writing piece!

We have continued Zoom tutoring with Anne since then, on our usual twice weekly schedule. When we were seeing Anne in person, she had a lovely tutoring space - open, clean, calm, with books & art supplies and a nice large desk to share with her tutee. She was on track with time, positive and insightful in assessing our daughter's academic needs and progression, and always a kind, warm presence. Anne is a competent and knowledgeable tutor, keeping our daughter on track and adjusting as needed. So grateful we have her in our lives.

He had been getting some services in school, but he was falling farther and farther behind. We went to Lyon Learning because they were recommended to us, and it turned out to be a marvelous experience for our child. Clarisse has the right mix of enthusiasm and firmness to get through the Wilson Reading System and the other methods that she uses. Wilson is rigorous and effective, but it is difficult for a young student. Clarisse has a unique talent to keep him on task and motivated as he worked through the system. He has come very far in a short time, which was wonderful. I should also say that, in addition to the in person sessions, she recommended several online exercises to do at home on days that he did not have a session, so our child worked on his reading everyday, which was quite helpful. Also, our experience during the Covid-19 shutdowns has been quite good. Both Clarisse and her assistant Jean have been as effective over zoom as they were in person, which is not easy. We are very happy with Lyon Learning.
