One star may sound absurd, but the results from the class justify the poor rating. The only purpose…read moreof the center is to increase ACT scores or academic performance. After months of poor tutoring from the center, my score did not go up. You may think I am sour grapes because my score did not initially go up - this is where you are wrong. I started self-studying and doing my own plan and my score skyrocketed up. The prices are absurd. Half the time is spent taking practice tests where the tutors sit on their phones and play solitaire. Doesn't sound like a bad gig to me. I would strongly advise attending Huntington "Learning" Center for one reason only - you do not learn.

I highly recommend Stefan Maisnier for MBA admissions guidance. When our son decided to pursue his…read moreMBA on a tight timeline, Stefan quickly created a clear, strategic plan. He objectively evaluated our son's strengths and weaknesses, identified gaps--especially in quantitative skills--and worked closely with him to address those areas. Stefan's deep knowledge of admissions and test prep ensured our son targeted schools that fit his profile and goals, and he provided invaluable support throughout the process. Stefan's professionalism and expertise made a real difference for our family. My wife and I would recommend him to anyone seeking high-level, personalized admissions guidance and GMAT prep.

I can't say enough good things about working with Ian at Hello College. My son has always struggled…read morewith math and was really nervous before the meeting. Ian's warmth and kindness immediately put him at ease. It was such a relief to see my shy kid relax and actually start to feel confident. Ian clearly knows the material, but what stood out even more was the way he connected with my son and explained things in a way that finally made sense. As a parent, I felt truly heard. Ian understood that this wasn't just about math -- it was about my child's confidence and self-esteem. He was honest, caring, and clear in his communication, which made me feel hopeful and reassured that we have a real path forward. I'm so grateful for the experience. What could have been stressful turned into something positive and encouraging, and that's because of Ian. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hello College, especially Ian, to any family looking for not just academic support, but someone who genuinely cares about kids.

I am a former student of the Reading Tree ACT/SAT preparation course, and I would fully recommend…read moreit to anyone looking for a quality program with outstanding results. I am currently a senior in high school and along with my grades, my great ACT score has given me the opportunity to attend my dream school, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and I can attribute my ACT success to my experience with the Reading Tree program. I am so happy with my choice to attend the Reading Tree program. I had other friends in similar ACT prep programs with hundreds of students being taught by very few teachers. They said that they felt as if they "never got any personalized attention" and that it was a "waste of time." I found this to be the complete opposite at the Reading Tree. The teachers were warm and patient (regardless of the level of the student), and they always had an answer to my questions. The intimate environment really made me feel that my success was a primary goal to the program. Along with the books we received for homework and practice tests, we got a binder that had so many different helpful hints and tricks that I used when I took my test (and my test results confirmed...they definitely work). I felt the homework assignments to be well thought-out and relevant to what we needed to focus on. I can't say enough about how successful I feel the Reading Tree program is. From its personalized program, helpful text materials, well-educated teachers, and of course, great test results, I feel that it is beneficial to any junior or senior looking to do well on their tests; it is definitely worth it. Thank you to all my teachers!

Working with Nick and his staff has been an incredible experience for my son. What I noticed right…read moreaway is that Nick truly CARES about kids and takes the time to understand how they learn best. He spent a great deal of time on the phone with me before we came in for my son's evaluation and I quickly knew he would be a great fit. Nick is great at meeting kids where they are. On days when my son is struggling or just not in the right headspace, Nick adjusts the session accordingly. What impresses me most is how he explains concepts. More than once I've found myself thinking how every kid would benefit from a teacher like him. Beyond his talent as an educator, he's also an incredibly generous business owner. We first met him after winning a free month of tutoring through our school's silent auction. The value we have received this past month has gone above and beyond my expectations. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, adaptable, and genuinely invested in helping kids succeed, then Elite Tutoring Place will serve you well. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him!

They are great on 3 levels: 1. Experienced in Math, Grammar, and College Apps - probably also in Science and physics (we haven't needed them for that). 2.

My daughter will take the test again in December, so we are hoping for an even higher score. The great part was that we didn't use all of our hours that we paid and after the test, we decided to continue independently and they refunded the rest of hours right away. The person who is the owner is an educator and knows what she's doing. In addition to tutoring, they offer online resources that we will continue to use and practice for the second time around. If your child needs one on one, then I highly recommend Huntington.

So...in conclusion, I can only give my rating based on this experience. I did expect that I would receive a phone call or at the very least an email apologizing for the inconvenience and to try to reschedule. Sadly, neither of those things happened.
