I highly recommend Huntington Education. My son took the Math classes here for four years and found them extremely helpful. It supported his school learning and pushed him beyond what he was learning in school. Therefore, he always felt very prepared for school tests. His teachers at Huntington Ed have been exceptional. read more

We've been with Huntington Education for almost a year now, and I can honestly say the experience has been incredibly encouraging for our son. Math has always been a sore spot for him--especially with his slower processing speed--but the support, patience, and structure provided by the Huntington team has made a difference in both his skills and, more importantly, his willingness to keep trying. What stands out most is the level of personal investment the instructors make in each student. Mr. Justin, in particular, has gone out of his way to understand how my son learns and where he needs extra reinforcement. It never feels like a one-size-fits-all program; it's truly tailored support that meets him where he's at and helps him move forward at his pace. As a parent, my biggest concern has always been that he not only improves academically, but also feels capable of keeping up with his peers--and Huntington has been key in helping us move toward that goal. I trust their approach, and we're fully committed to continuing with their program. I can't recommend Huntington Education enough. They've been a steady and positive partner for our family. read more

My son is currently 8th Grade in a private school in Pasadena and has been going to Huntington for over one year now. He has been taking pre algebra and now Algebra with Ms. Liu. The math skills and techniques are being taking t here is no doubt one of the simplest. On top of that there is weekly home work packets go home with the students for them to practice the techniques taught in the classroom. The teacher will review the homework during the class. My son is not a natural hard working student. It is challenging to keep him from distractions. Ms. Liu has been keep us updated with his progress (up and downs) and also giving us reminders on how to keep track of his homework etc. I believe if your children are willing to get help and do some extra work outside of their schools, you will see progresses. And communicating with the teachers are very important as well! read more

Huntington Education has greatly helped my 5th and 7th grader in English Language Arts over the course of one school year. My children needed more practice with writing than what they were getting in school, and Huntington Ed provided the "old school" focus on the basics - essay organization, grammar, vocabulary, transition words, and more. The teacher, Ms. Sophie, is great and grades each week's writing homework thoughtfully, with comments and suggestions hand written in the margins. Homework assignments that earn lower than a 90% grade are to be re-done using teacher feedback. The class is held twice a week, with one day focused on expository writing and the second focused on fiction/literary analysis. The class reads a fun novel together on this second day and is a highlight for my kids. It may sound like a lot, and it certainly is a time commitment, but the program is worth it! read more

Both my kids have been coming here for math classes. My son attended the Algebra I course because he wanted to advance a year of math in middle school. After taking this course, he tested into the next level of math at school easily. After that, my daughter followed suit. Both my kids were able to achieve their goals! Mrs. Barbarics is great at teaching and her program has definitely proven successful. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Both of my children have attended Huntington Education since elementary school, and the experience has been phenomenal. Now in high school, with one about to graduate, they've seen remarkable progress in their math skills. The teachers, particularly Mr. and Mrs. Liu and Irisa, are patient, dedicated, and encouraging. Their personalized attention has built a strong foundation in math for my kids, boosting their confidence and performance in school. read more

My daughter has been attending Huntington Education for 4 years since 2021. Mrs. Barbarics has been wonderful at preparing her to excel in the following math classes: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and AP Precalculus. Mrs. Barbarics is an amazing and caring teacher and her chapter test and final reviews have been excellent study sources. I highly recommend Huntington Education. read more

My daughter attended Huntington Education for math and English. The program is challenging and moves at a quick pace but the teachers are incredibly supportive and willing to work with your kids after class to answer any questions. My daughter loved the English program and stated the teachers are all very good at teaching and keeping the students interested. We couldn't return this year due to schedule conflicts but I highly recommend Huntington Education. read more

This place is amazing. Both my son (9th grade) and my daughter (5th grade) go there and they are challenged in the class. They learn so much and love being in the class!! The teachers seem experienced with younger children and teenagers. Overall, I am very satisfied with my children's progress. read more

I've been a student at Huntington education since the third grade. I took the offered math and English classes. Now, as I transition into high school about three years, advanced in my math curriculum, I can confidently say that this tutoring center has been instrumental to my academic journey. All of the teachers that I have had the privilege of learning from have been wonderful and encouraging. Their dedication and support have been unwavering throughout the years. I am so very grateful for the support Ms. Barbarics Who always reached out when I fell behind or missed a class, always, ensuring I was doing my absolute best. With the assistance of Huntington education, I have been able to achieve significant milestones, including my acceptance to WEBB. Without their support, I would never have been able to accomplish such feats. For anyone considering attending this Tutoring center, I would 100% recommend their exceptional teaching and genuine care for their students truly makes all the difference. read more

Two of my sons have taken classes at Huntington Education. One has taken the summer Algebra 2 class and summer pre-calculus class. He tells me he finds the classes helpful and makes his time during the year bearable and finishes with an A. My other son took the SAT prep class and increased his score dramatically from his diagnostic test to his actual SAT score. The owner is very personable, helps you with all your questions, gives feedback on how your kids are doing, advices on next steps and gives an honest, no frills opinion on any academic question you may have. She has supported me in many ways. I recommended this place to many of my friends already and will continue to do so. read more

I can't thank Huntington Education enough for helping my child become much more confident in Math and English. Having gone through the pandemic during her elementary school years, Huntington Ed gave our child much needed additional instruction and practice. Justin is an excellent teacher and cares for each student. read more

My old son had solid math knowledge built up by Mrs. Barbarics from his 9th Grade to 12th Grade, that helped him get accepted into his dream college this year, which is a school ranked very high in the U.S relating to engineering. My younger boy also chose to enroll in Math and English classes in Huntington Education when he was in 4th Grade. Now, with confidence, he is in honors Math and honors English at his freshman year in high school. I appreciate Huntington Education's fully support for my boys' learning and the ideal communication with Mrs. Barbarics & the Huntington Ed team. read more

Huntington Education has given my children a solid foundation in Math and English. I appreciate the Liu family and their dedication to enriching the lives of their students. This family owned business has been around for decades (I was a previous student) and they continue to improve and perfect their business. The teachers are top notch, passionate and make learning enjoyable for the kids! We've been very happy with Huntington Education! read more

Huntington Education has great, dedicated teachers and offers a challenging curriculum that gives students the opportunity to hone fundamental skills while practicing new ones. English classes offer an emphasis on writing, grammar, and analytical reading and reasoning. Essay prompts help prepare students for skills they'll need at the high school and college level, and students enjoy reading a variety of novels and short stories. Irisa and Justin work hard to revise and update the Huntington curriculum to meet students' needs and help them succeed in school and beyond. I highly recommend Huntington Education! read more

College preparation is a must; look no further than Huntington Education for SAT preparation and a strong mathematics foundation. The family-owned tutoring center works with the student to ensure success in the school curriculum. The instructors here all want their students to succeed and often give great advice, guiding prospective college students into the best universities. read more

If you are looking for a place to send your son or daughter to be transformed through education and prepare themselves for college and beyond, this is the place to send them. Huntington Education is family-run: they offer personal care, a great curriculum for all ages (1st grade-SAT prep) in multiple subjects, and the teachers they hire are outstanding. It is located in beautiful and safe South Pasadena, and their facilities are outstanding. Additionally, if you are looking for work, you won't find better bosses than the Liu family, and it is conveniently located just off the 210 freeway and near the South Pasadena metro stop. There is a lovely coffee shop just across the street as well, if you are a parent looking for a place to work while your child gains more knowledge. I have found no better after-school education than Huntington :) read more

I had difficulty in Geometry in 9th Grade and went to Huntington Education in the 2nd semester for extra help. My class was a small one, around 10 students. Everyone received great attention and thorough learning. With Mrs. Barbarics' assistance, I did much better in Geometry & Algebra 2, and had confidence to register in Honors Math Analysis and AP Calculus at school. I didn't miss a single question in the math section of both of my SAT exams in 12th Grade. Thank you so much! read more

In one short summer, both my kids (5th and 8th grade) had a dramatic improvement in their math skills. By the end of summer session, my younger one was easily solving math that was making her cry at the beginning, and my older one is caught up enough to jump to a higher level math class in school this fall. We have tried other programs, and are very pleased with Huntington's rigor and emphasis on teaching and highly recommend to anyone wanting to give their kids a leg up in math. read more

I was a student at Huntington Education Center from 7th grade until 2002, when I graduated from San Marino High School. Since that time, I've graduated from UCSD with a BS in Bioengineering on a full academic scholarship, and graduated from UCSD School of Medicine. My academic success is in large part due to the education I received from Huntington Education. While I was a student, I had to opportunity to learn from Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu and Irisa. All three are excellent teachers, and have countless years of experience teaching elementary, middle and high school students. Their tremendous experience translates into extremely high yield classes and home work assignments that prepare their students for success both in school and on SAT and AP tests. At Huntington Education Center, you learn more than just math or science; you learn the discipline that is required for scholastic success. More impressive than their results is the fact that they care about their students as individuals. Mrs. Liu makes herself readily available for extra study sessions prior to SAT or AP Exams, and will stay as late as you need in order to make sure you feel prepared for your tests. With the help of Mrs. Liu and the team at Huntington Education, I received a 790 on the SAT I Math, 800 on SAT II for Math, and a 5 on my AP Calculus BC Exam. I'm certain that there are many other Huntington Education Center students who've had similarly excellent results as well. I definitely recommend enrolling without any reservations! read more

I went to Huntington Education Center from 2007 to 2014, when I graduated high school. This tutoring center is good because the teachers all genuinely care for you and want to help you to keep learning. I had Mr. Liu for grades 6-7, Mrs. Barbarics/Ms. Liu for 9 and 10, and Mrs. Liu for 8 and 11-12. I attended Algebra I (8th), Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Caculus BC. Everyone in my class at San Marino High School in AP Calculus BC got a 5 on the AP exam. From the middle school years, the teachers have structured lessons year-round, which they have perfected to teach you much ahead of the school curriculum. There are also homework packets for middle schoolers year-round, and high schoolers during the summer, to help build the foundation for the classes during the year. I think the summer homework was especially good for me in AP Calculus BC, because Mrs. Liu taught me most of Calculus AB before the school year started. My math grades were definitely not the only thing that contributed to my college entrance, but Huntington Education Center made math more enjoyable, with less stress in school, the SAT, etc. I will graduate from USC, HKUST, and Bocconi University. read more

My mom signed me up at Huntington Education against my wishes. But it turned out, a couple of hours a week did a lot of good. It forced me to allocate time for Math and SAT prep. Not only did I review, but I also learned a few lessons ahead at Huntington Education. What I like best about this place is that the classes are taught by actual teachers who know what they are doing and care about their students. It was also a nice contrast to other tutoring centers that just gave packets to do without any instruction. I highly recommend this place. read more

Not only the teachers know how to convey concepts well to students and help them to achieve the highest level possible, they are caring teachers who want your students to do well outside the classes too. We'd never believed in tutoring but our daughter would like to get practices for her SAT and started the PSAT prep in summer with Mr. Barbaric who is a great teacher and he is kind and not boring. In the summer after sophomore, she took the SAT prep continuing into her senior year, her SAT scores jumped by 300 into 1500s! In junior year, she started taking Pre-calculus when Mrs. Liu taught her so many strategies in tackling the math problems. btw, Mrs. Liu always shows her care to our daughter even after the class was over--she is not only a great math teacher but is genuinely caring for the overall well-being of our daughter/her student! We are so happy with Ms. Liu's AP Physics live class in the first semester but due to scheduling conflict, our daughter took AP Physics in 2nd semester by just watching videos of Ms. Liu--but guess what, unexpectedly, our daughter still maintains an A in her class at school! Ms. Liu also shows care to our daughter besides academics! Once in a while when our daughter has some Physics hw questions or Calculus questions, Ms. Liu was willing to help her anyway. Last but not the least, Justin have been such a kind, helpful member of the Liu family--his can-do attitude, always so enthusiastic to help, always stays positive and extremely patient! Having taken classes with almost everyone at Hungtinton Edu, our daughter has maintained top grades at school and at SAT or AP exams, and she sees Hungtington Edu her second home, with the second family to care for her! Our family loves every one of their staff as well! THANK YOU for giving such good memories to our daughter and helped her achieve her best academically! Out of the dozen applied, our daughter got accepted to a couple of Ivies and also from the top ten hardest colleges to get into in 2019! read more

I went to Mr/Mrs. Liu's for close to 8 years as I went through middle school and high school taking her regular math curriculum, SAT II Math, and AP Statistics classes. She played a formative role in helping me get into UC Berkeley through the week to week math preparation as well through the standard exam reviews. Going to class was not relaxing or always enjoyable, but I learned to realize over time as I grew older that Mrs. LIu showed a kind of devotion and unparalleled dedication to her students that is hard to find in many teachers. She would stay after our classes before tests to make sure that we understood the subject matter and came in on the weekends when we needed extra review before our SAT or SAT2 Math exams. Due to the fact that many of my peers and I spent a lot of time at Huntington Education, Mrs. Liu sort of took on a role as an extended parent who sincerely cared for us and knew our families and part of our personal lives. It is rare to find teachers who are committed to their jobs and to their students to this extent. Mrs. Liu was and always will be hard on her students and push them towards excellence, but it is only for the goal of making sure they are successful. I grew up in this tutoring center and Mr./Mrs. Liu shaped me to develop a diligence and strong work ethic that I used in college towards studying. I am grateful to have had the experience to attend Huntington Education and cannot recommend any other center you should be taking your child to for math preparation/tutoring. read more

My 8th grader son is in their Algebra class. He took English last summer too. Here are my thoughts: 1. English summer class is small, teacher is nice. It's worth taking this summer class since your child will have almost a private tutoring experience. 2. 8th grade Algebra summer classes were taught by Mrs. Lu. She is hardworking and strict. She gives lots of homework which helps a child practice which is good. The bad part is my son has a hard time understanding her. Lessons move very quickly during summer; therefore I have to teach my son so that he can do his homework. 3. 8th grade non-summer classes taught by Mrs. Lu. Again lots of homework which is good for practice. Again my son could not quite understand the teacher well but he manages to get by by looking at the examples and asking the teacher to repeat herself. But I feel that she cares whether my son understands and I feel that she tries to make sure that the puts in the effort while doing his homework. This is because he has the tendency to guess his answers so that he can finish her homework quickly. 4. On the whole, I am very thankful for Mrs. Lu because she tries to make sure my son understands by asking him questions and by telling him that if he doesn't put in effort on his homework, he needs to stay in to do it. My son puts in more effort on his homework nowadays. Truthfully, my son doesn't understand her completely but it cannot be helped because the class is big and also I believe my son refuses to ask questions. I am unable to rate her teaching skills since I am not in the class to watch her. read more

Wonderful teachers and great learning environment. I was failing math before I came here. Mrs. Liu helped me get better and excel in math!

I went to Huntington starting in 8th grade and continued through the end of my high school years. They prepared me for higher math which allowed me to excel in college. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get ahead or struggling in math! read more

This is a family-run learning center that gives each student personalized instruction. The teachers here have more than just content expertise, but know the idiosyncrasies of the math programs at the local schools their students attend, as well as the standardized tests students are required to take. They are capable guides who can show you all the tips and tricks and ins and outs of navigating math on the SAT and in your particular school (or even specific math teacher). Their English curriculum provides lots of explicit instruction and concrete strategies for mastering essay writing and literary analysis. Students receive direct instruction not only in grammar and vocabulary, but are guided step-by-step through the process of writing cohesive paragraphs (in the lower grades) to analytical essays (in the upper grades), making writing an accessible skill for English Language Learners or anybody who's ever had writing anxiety. Many of the families who send their kids here have been doing so for years, and the long term relationships the teachers build with the students help students to grow not only academically, but also socially, instilling in students a strong work ethic. Huntington Education is far more than a "tutoring center" but truly a place of community. I've seen many former students return and attribute their success to Mr./Mrs./Ms. Liu! read more

Huntington Education has great teachers and provides a positive learning environment for students. They provide superbly exceptional teaching, explaining, and coverage of many fields of math, along with providing excellent preparation for standardized tests and et cetera. Granted, one will have to allot extra time for such further studying, though such work always comes along with schooling. In the end, the preparation, knowledge, and study skills picked up from Huntington Education really does pay off once in college. Moreover, the multiple teachers at Huntington Education provide different perspectives and disciplines on the same subject and really allows people from all backgrounds to understand and comprehend material covered not only at the establishment but also at one's respective school, university, or college. Had I not frequented this place, I would be no where near where I am in academics/college. In the end, I highly recommend Huntington Education. read more

I graduated from San Marino High School back in 2002 and came to Mrs. Liu during my high school years. I matriculated through UCSD bioengineering and Stanford University. I've learned the most during my time here and was definitely prepared for the geometry, algebra, pre-calc, and calc classes. She definitely prepared me for my AP tests as well as college. I remember as the AP tests were fast approaching, Mrs. Liu allowed us to come in to do some additional studying and we wouldn't leave till 10, 11 at night. That speaks to her dedication not just to get a high GPA but for learning itself. All the teachers (Mr & Mrs Liu, Irisa) dedicate their lives to the students that come through their doors. She gave me the confidence in my math skills that I carry forward to the rest of my life. read more

I started coming here in 9th grade for Geometry. Before, I had never had any tutors, so the improvement in my grades were obvious. I went from getting low A's and B's on tests to getting high A's both on tests and in the class overall. I really recommend their math classes because the teachers know the curriculum well and explain the material clearly. It really reduces the stress before math tests and math is a breeze for me now! read more

I was here from 3rd grade to 12th. Excellent math tutor! Helped me pass AP math AB and BC (I think that's what it was called?)

This wonderful woman has laid a strong foundation for all of my math related subjects
