I found Huntington here on Yelp because I was looking for a tutoring center to help my 7 year-old get caught up from a rough 1.5 years of learning through the computer. Ugh.
At first I was hesitant because we're not ready to do in-person learning because of COVID, but I found out they do one-on-one learning via Zoom (not 4:1 like the competitor).
They started off the program by completing an assessment of where my son was at, learning-wise, the cost of this assessment is typically $195 but they had a special for $95. It was three hours long and went really in-depth. I was afraid kiddo would peter out but they gave him sufficient breaks.
After the assessment, they went over the results with my husband and I via Zoom. Don't be scared- you're here to get help and you brought your kid here because you know they needed a boost- right? The results go over their scores in all of the subject areas, and they go backward to try and identify missed skills that might be holding them back; in my son's case, they went from 2nd grade back to kindergarten.
The results will "prescribe" a certain amount of hours that your kid needs to catch up.
After that, you purchase session hours that can be used in blocks. They charge per hour. As I mentioned, they're 1:1 sessions.
My son has completed about 30 hours, and it's really helping him. He's a kiddo that really doesn't like distance learning and really doesn't stay engaged and I was concerned the same thing would happen here, but it didn't.
By some sort of wizardry- my son is able to sit through the 2-3 hour sessions with his tutor. He's given breaks, they briefly allow him to be silly, and know how to get him back on task.
It's pricey, and I did have some sticker shock, but my employer was reimbursing for these services for a brief timeframe. If you can afford it- it's great. I like the 1:1 ratios, purchasing hours of instruction (rather than a monthly amount), the ability to distance learn, and the way the instructors are able to both keep my kid engaged and teach him.
Bonus points, for my fellow introverts: they have a text messaging system. You can text them. It's freaking awesome. Down with phone calls! read more
