My daughter has benefited greatly from Huntington's PSAT test prep programs - tailored specifically to her needs based on results of the diagnostic testing. The staff and teachers have helped provide the structure that my daughter really needed to improve. In addition to tutoring, they also offer college application workshops from time to time. We have attended two of these workshops, and they have both been engaging and informative. Bottom Line: Great environment that keeps the students engaged and motivated. The management team is good and is very easy to work with. Highly recommended! read more

My daughter has successfully completed 5th grade after having spent many hours working at Huntington. My husband and I knew she struggled with reading, but were in denial as to how bad it actually was until we saw how poorly she'd done on her initial assessment. It took time, but by the end of the school year we were amazed at her transformation, and not just in reading. Her confidence seemed to spill over into other areas, and she (unknowingly) was applying her new-found skills to other subjects like math and writing. The director was in touch with my daughter's teacher and met with us regularly to keep us apprised of progress. I was surprised that my daughter never seemed to mind going, seeing as she was attending 4 sessions a week. I was worried she'd be overwhelmed, but she never complained. She is now ready to start 6th grade in a couple weeks and I am confident in her ability to make the transition. read more

We wanted to thank you and the teachers for helping Our son. He is in advanced math in 6th grade and doing very well. He said thanks to Nick, his teacher, because he helped him a lot! Keep doing what you are doing. read more

I would highly recommend this Huntington learning center. The staff will work with you to create a program that best fits your child's needs. Nick, who tutors calculus and physics is amazing. He's very knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. My son went to Nick for calculus, SAT prep, and AP physics - in addition to a refresher for essay writing from another great tutor. We were very pleased with the results. read more

I enrolled by middle school aged daughter at Huntington back in October 2018. She's being tutored for math, reading, and writing. I have seen great improvement in all three subjects. The staff is great and swiftly responds to email. They are extremely flexible when we need to reschedule a tutoring session due to school or family functions. Most importantly, my daughter enjoys her tutoring sessions because the center makes tutoring fun and interesting. read more

Huntington is a wonderful place. I have been going there for about the past 6 years and have loved it since day 1. Super supportive and caring staff and teachers who can help you study, learn concepts, and prepare for tests as well as support you as a person. Everyone there is so helpful and quick to give advice upon request, and are all just good people who genuinely want to see you do well. Definitely a place that deserves much more attention for how well the teachers and staff can connect with and deepen your understanding of whatever you need, while making it fun and engaging in the process. The people there can become a part of your life who will support you and your learning no matter what :) read more

Let me start by saying that my child was never actually tutored here. I did call and request information about their program and their per hour fee. I had to answer probably 30 questions about my child before I was able to get an hourly rate. The person that I spoke with did everything she could to avoid giving me the rate. What is there to hide? You will find out eventually what the rate is. Also, about 2 weeks after I called and said that I would be hiring a private tutor...I get a phone call from them trying to sell me tutoring. I never gave them my telephone number to begin with...they took it off caller ID. I didn't even use my phone when I called I used a business phone. Just from those two interactions...I would never use them for tutoring. They are pushy and the whole thing felt shady. read more

This review is from a mother whose sons ACTUALLY attended Huntington Learning Center on Bollinger Rd, Cupertino, so please listen up, folks: Our son celebrated his graduation from Monta Vista HS a few years ago. It was a beautiful ceremony and were very proud of him. He is now attending college and is doing well. I am moved to remember the assistance that the entire staff at Huntington gave us at a critical time in his high school career. We moved to California from Massachusetts in my son's junior year. The transition proved academically (and socially) challenging, and we became concerned about his falling grades. We approached Huntington for assistance and it now seems clear to us that our son received all the training, support and encouragement that he needed in order to pass his classes and graduate from high school. Huntington took charge with an excellent program that incorporated targeted diagnostic testing, one-on-one supervision from experienced and professional teachers, instant feedback to the student and helpful and frequent progress conferences with parents. Partly due to this positive experience we also enrolled our younger son. Although his was a good student, we thought that he would benefit from a shorter series of "enrichment classes," and as a result his math and writing skills improved immensely and still serve him well as a graduating high school senior with a solid academic record. The assistants and directors were easy to work with, flexible and honest. A special thanks to Rabiya, assistant extraordinaire, who cheerfully put up with our multiple schedule changes (and goof-ups!). We looked forward to the frequent scheduled conferences with the Education Director who kept us apprised of our sons' progress and attitude, and who guided us through the complications of the public school system (with which we had little prior experience). The Director kept the center running like a Swiss chronograph. A very big thanks, of course, to the teachers who worked patiently and expertly with our sons as they guided them to their eventual successes. read more

I checked out Huntington after I received a referral from another mother at my daughters school. I was quite impressed at how they handled my concerns, the times she would have to be there and the cost. I had the assessment done and between that and the first class, realized she really didn't need tutoring, just a little more guidance in her school work. Hunting ton was absolutely fabulous and if she ever does need tutoring, I will definitely give them a call. read more

My wife and I brought our daughter to Huntington learning center in Cupertino when her counselor warned us she was at risk of repeating the 7th grade. She'd never been a school oriented person, but last year she had almost straight F's. The teachers at Huntington did a great job of helping her get organized and the director stayed in contact with her teachers and counselor to make sure my daughter was staying on track. By the end of the semester she had B's and C's, and she is looking forward to the new school year. We're so pleased with the change we've seen in our daughter that we'll be sending our son (now in 6th grade) to Huntington this year also. Do look at the filtered reviews for this branch of Huntington. The one star review from a non-customer is not represenative of most people's experiences here. read more

Huntington is a great place for ACT prep. My daughter had a good experience with the tutors. The tutors helped her understand the content better. The staff is knowledgable and answered my questions to my satisfaction. I'm waiting for my daughter's ACT results to come back. Hopefully all the hard work will pay off. read more

This is an EXTREMELY overdue review. I came here about 2010-2011 when I was in 11th grade for SAT prep. Save your money and go elsewhere. This place deserves negative stars, especially the owner(s) and management for the following reasons: 1. Their main concern is money. I needed SAT prep. This was the wrong place for it. Instead of helping prepare for the SAT, they made me take a test to see areas I needed help in. Apparently I did poorly because I was placed at a lower level, which they did on purpose. They said after I completed the "basics" to create a strong foundation, would they then start prepping me for the SAT. I never completed the basics because they gave me endless worksheets which had no relevance to my grade level OR the SAT, which btw is testing about how to take tests, not testing you on what you've learned. They knew it too. This method may be good for elementary school children, but NOT for high schoolers. They gave me something I never asked for. Placing students at a lower level than they are means more money parents are shelling out to keep them there longer. *eye roll* I quit after 2 months. My parents knew something was wrong after 3 weeks of me there which was why we stuck it out a little bit longer to see if things improved. Nope. 2. PREJUDICE. I did not know it back then, but realizing it now, I was discriminated and treated badly here by one of the owners/tutor who I forgot the name of. For reference, he was this white old man with a stomach and he clearly was in charge of the place. I don't know if he still works here, but every time I pass by this building I still get a bad feeling inside, as if I did something wrong but it is clearly prejudice. Here's what happened. INSTANCE 1: He often spoke to me in a condescending tone when I needed help, glared at me, and disliked me for the only reason I could think of, being Asian going to a certain high school nearby. He's not blatantly prejudiced, but it was there. One time I overheard a conversation of him and another student a grade below me about the how academically focused and competitive the Asian students were at her school (we went to the same school) and how it made other non-Asian students feel. Then he says "I have a term for those types of people ____." I do not recall this term because it is not a racial slur, but it is OFFENSIVE to have a made up TERM for any type of student if you are a tutor. And it might as well be a racial slur as he specifically said "those types of people." INSTANCE 2: I came into Huntington after school with my schedule written on my hand because I forgot my planner. He sees this, grabs my hand without asking, and reads it. After reading my schedule and seeing that I did NOTHING wrong, he tells me if I wrote on my hand to cheat then he will notify the school about cheating and the consequences I will face after. Here, he accuses me of almost cheating, like it is a crime to write on your hand (FYI students that cheat OBVIOUSLY won't wave evidence around or leave it on them the entire day). Students who cheat are not prepared and this so called owner/tutor should already know. Tutors should want student success and encourage students to do better rather than tear down their spirit or discriminate. At the end of the day the Huntington is a business, and as businesses do best, they drain wallets while providing minimal service with a degree of discrimination. read more

My daughter has been to the center a few times now and is always excited to come. All the tutors we have seen are very knowledgeable and seem to genuinely care about what they are teaching and helping their students. read more

Super happy with the teachers and staff here! Their system is thorough and they've not only been able to plug some gaps in my kids' understanding of math and English, but they've also helped my kids score very well on the HSPT! I would highly recommend this place! read more

I am a parent of a child who went to the Bollinger Huntington in Cupertino. I took evaluation from 2 other competing centers before deciding on this one. I also had a friend and co-worker who recommended this Bollinger location. I am extremely happy with my choice; here is why: ** The Director Surinder takes the extra step to understand the parents expectation and the child's current status as a baseline. I give her credit for clearly pointing out the 'gaps to fill' after the assessment. She then laid out a comprehensive plan to get to where is needed. Very simple and clear yet it had a clear path to goal. ** Surinder was very candid and shared the options and let me pick what I felt right for my child. She placed the right teacher for my child's needs and personality, named Sarah. I liked that very much. My child absolutely adores and respects teacher Sarah. ** My child was preparing for ERB test for private school admission. Surinder exactly knew what was needed to excel in the test and how to get there. I really liked her approach and down to earth demeanor ** I should add that when my child started here, the scoring around 40% in the CA STAR test. 40% also in the evaluation test at Huntington Bollinger center. Gradually with every prep test Surinder was able to summarize how my child progressed, 'gaps' filled and the items left. I really liked meeting with her and getting all that progress and 'gaps'. The scores went from 40% to higher and higher and finally when we stopped the center, my child was in the 90's. ** The teacher Sarah was also phenomenal. She was able to connect with my child at the right note and took my child to the next level I should say. Teacher Sarah was also extremely flexible with my chaotic schedule. **Going to this center has not only helped my child in ERB test, but in her school overall. Teacher Sarah has helped my child essay writing in clear blocks and tips which could be easily followed by an elementary school child. My child's essays in her school are now used as an example and my child has now started writing 'articles' . My child's 'values' for education has really gone up notches and the self confidence above all truly speaks for itself. Her Math and reading are above a grade level now just for going here for 3 months. ** Karen in the front desk is such a personable person and is on top of any accounting. She never misses a beat. She is also thorough in the testing procedures and grading. **I highly recommend this center and particularly teacher Sarah for any parents of children attempting ERB exams. --Happy parent from huntington Bollinger center read more

We've been coming here for several years and have had some ups and downs during those years (depending on the office staff and their abilities) but with the new ownership and management that has taken over, it's become a circus here (with the new director, Sheila, as its ring master). But the most disturbing element is that there is a total lack of concern for their students here - they are now solely focused on $ and pushing the # of classes. We did the HSPT prep (mostly under the prior management) and my younger daughter did well. Fast forward today (with the new management team) and the SAT Prep we signed up for my other daughter. After months of prep class, she took a practice SAT and only improved by 30 points! Come to find out, Huntington totally dropped the ball and failed to register my daughter for the online program! Yes, no one checked on my daughter's work or progress over the course of the last few months to even notice that she was not enrolled and she was only getting a fraction of the instruction she should've been receiving!!! Unbelievable!!! If you're looking to help your kids in improving their test scores or classroom help, there are so many other options and I would AVOID THIS PLACE!!! You'll spend lots of $ and be very disappointed in the results!!! read more

Let me start by saying I'm not one to write a review for anything. That being said I felt compelled to write this for Huntington Learning Center. I have two children that I sent to Huntington for help with ACT & SAT tutoring. My son was more of a ACT person whereas my daughter leaned more towards the SAT. I have to be honest in saying that it became a push to get them to want to go as the program can be intense. Ultimately by going to Huntington both my children were able to raise their scores significantly. My son was accepted into 9 out of the 10 schools he applied to and is currently a junior, my daughter will be attending her first choice school in the fall. I have to think that Huntington was instrumental in their ability to achieve their goals. I would recommend Huntington but know that it's not cheap, however if you want results I think it's worth the cost. read more

The staff at the center helped my child develop reading comprehension and math skills which were significantly below grade level when started. They worked patiently with him at his pace, and made sure he mastered a concept before moving on. They also accommodated our request for him to work with the same teacher only, for continuity and to make him to feel comfortable during his sessions. The center is staffed by dedicated, professionals who know each child by name. The director Karen understood our child's unique needs and learning style. She worked with us and the teacher to tweak the curriculum as necessary, and also offer her insights and recommendations for our child. During my son's time at Huntington, I have seen him make tremendous progress in his communication skills and confidence. read more

My son went to Huntington two summers in a row for the book/reading club program. I mainly enrolled him to improve/rekindle the love of reading and also improve his comprehension skills. Ms. Karen at the Cupertino center was the lead for his session. It was pleasure working with her. My son really got to read a lot of books, passages and analyze the passages to improve his comprehension skills over the summer. Ms Karen was always available to talk to us and extremely diligent in following up with us parents. I would recommend this place to anyone anytime. Keep up the good work Huntington! read more

I highly recommend the Huntington learning center. My son was having a lot of trouble with reading, comprehension and writing skills in 3rd grade (partly due to a terrible teacher at school) and we opted for about 6 months at Huntington. The initial test that they did was very revealing and after the 6 month stint my son began to do very well at school. Now, in middle school he is getting A's consistently in language-arts subjects. Their program is individualized and very professional. Their program directors seem to have a solid understanding of K-12 education. Not cheap by any means, but in my opinion worth every penny!! read more
