Tutoring at Huntington
Huntington understands that no two students learn alike, and their 4-step approach is what sets the tutoring program apart.
- Each student’s journey at the Huntington Learning Center begins with a comprehensive academic evaluation administered by a specially trained teacher to pinpoint areas of strength and weakness.
- The Directors – Kristi and Katie will develop a program specific to that student’s needs that will build on their strengths and fill any gaps in their academic foundation.
- One to one tutoring sessions allow a dedicated tutor to devote themselves wholly to the needs of each student. Students learn at their own pace, on their level.
- The Director meets with parents individually every 2-4 weeks to go over the education plan and the student’s progress. Parents also have the option to have the Director meet with your child’s teacher to assess classroom struggles so that there is a partnership between the classroom and Huntington’s tutoring sessions for faster progress.
Tutoring programs are available for PreK – 12th grade with subjects including school readiness, reading, writing, math, study skills, science, and more.

Rates
Contact Huntington directly to learn more about the cost of their programs and flexible payment options. It is important to keep in mind that the services provided by Huntington are an investment in your child’s education and future. Tutoring and test-prep are not a “quick fix.” You are providing them with a foundation to be successful in school by building self-confidence, organizational skills, and good study habits.
Huntington stands out from typical tutoring and test-prep options because everything is tailored specifically to your child.
Unlike many other tutoring centers, Huntington doesn’t require ANY long term contracts. Keep this in mind if you are comparing tutoring options and consider how you’ll feel if you go with a less expensive option and get stuck paying out the contract when you aren’t seeing results.
