Very happy with the entire process that we went through. At this point, we've taken the test once…read moreand got a higher score by 3 from the practice test. 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.

While it took a little longer than we had expected, he did increase his GPA & ACT scores & learned extremely valuable study habits and test prep skills.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Diane and her team for exceeding our expectations!

Initially, she was somewhat reluctant to make time in her already cramped school/work schedule for the multiple sessions at Huntington each week but we kept insisting that her hard work with the assistance of her wonderful tutors would pay off in the end. We are extremely happy and grateful to both the staff and tutors at Huntington Learning Center. She proved to herself that she had the ability all along. She simply needed guidance and some well appointed tips (can't say enough about the watch!) to make her goal her reality. Thank you!

I wish I would have read a lot of these reviews before I spent thousands of dollars. Seems like the…read morepositive reviews were from many years ago. The recent reviews, not so good. The sales pitch was strong but we saw very little results. I could understand this but when I tried to address this and ask questions , I had ZERO response. Ghosted. I had to call and email several times to get on the schedule for our remaining classes. The Director has STILL yet to call me back but luckily the woman who schedules is trying her best. I'd suggest trying another route and will the next time.

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.

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 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!
