I can't possibly begin to express my gratitude for Alison and her incredible team at Huntington…read moreLearning Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. My daughter Val absolutely lost her love of learning during her hybrid/COVID school year, despite all of our attempts to keep her engaged. My husband and I ended up moving our family out of state for three years and things only got worse for her, beginning with uncharacteristic behavioral changes both in school and at home. We decided to move back to Westchester, and the first thing we did was enroll Val for summer tutoring because we could not handle the tears and negotiations when it came to homework and the general apathy towards school. Something wasn't right, and we could not figure out what it was, and for 2 years, her teachers had no suggestions that seemed to work. Alison assessed our rising fifth grader and determined that she was still reading and performing at a third-grade level. Our kid was two years behind in school in all areas, and no one caught this for over 2 years. We were doing everything right, and somehow it still went so wrong. Val was in a private school. We did homework together. We read together. It was the HLC assessments that pointed out her academic strengths and weaknesses and addressed how to best approach the academic inadequacies in the most effective ways. We decided to do an intensive summer program, five days a week for 10 weeks during the summer. We continued three times a week come September. In November 2023, Allison sat on a Zoom call with my husband and me, for the first quarter parent-teacher 5th-grade conferences, and before we said anything to her teachers, we wanted to wait and see how they assessed Val. Her school teachers confirmed what we were hoping.They confirmed that all of Val's hard work was paying off. She was reading and writing at a 5th grade level and was hitting all her benchmarks for math and reading. When Alison explained the intensive intervention that Val had completed, the teachers were shocked and never would have imagined how behind this kid had been just a few months prior. Val continued to work with Allison's incredible team three times a week, to continue this evolution and success the rest of the school year. We dropped to "summer maintenance" twice a week summer of 2024, knowing that middle school was just around the corner. Unfortunately, we did have to move away from Westchester again, but the invaluable skills and hard work paid off. My sixth-grade daughter just came home today with a report card stating her 3.1 GPA and is officially an Honor Roll student. Her science teacher has recommended her for honors science next year. While my husband and I have never been focused on grades, this achievement has undoubtedly changed how our daughter views herself academically and what she feels she is capable of. Alison listened. She let me cry. And then she got to work, constantly reassessing the best way to get my kid back on track. Not only is Val academically succeeding, she actively reads in her spare time, seeks out authors of books she's enjoyed independently, and has rave reviews from her teachers to date. Does she want to do her homework immediately after school? No. She's 12. Of course not. Does she voluntarily open her books on the weekend to review and get ahead? Also no. But she does it, and I watch as she utilizes the study skills HLC taught my kid, and then she comes home from school HAPPY. There's no profound way I can possibly express the level of gratitude I have. If sharing the success of one kid who was so turned off to learning, but found her way back to loving her education again, I hope that helps one parent to make the best decision they can and join the HLC community. Trust the process, it is an invaluable investment in your child's education and future.

I visited Huntington Learning Center in Yorktown seeking summer math assistance for my daughter and…read moregeometry Regents prep for my son, which I made clear to the intake assistant director. They advised that the first step was a foundational test to assess their needs, followed by a meeting to discuss options. However, after the testing, I did not receive any meeting confirmation emails and had to call the office to remind them. Despite reiterating my daughter's need for summer help, during a subsequent Zoom meeting, the assistant director informed me they do not offer such services and promised to forward the meeting information, which never arrived. I've tried to move past this, but I remain unsettled. I will certainly caution anyone who asks about my experience and advise them against choosing this center.

I would strongly recommend Kumon Darien as a supplement to your child's current curriculum. My 7…read moreyear old and 9 year old have been attending Kumon for over a year and I have seen tremendous growth and advancement in their academics. My son began Kumon the summer prior to entering kindergarten and he was fully reading at the start of kindergarten and I have noticed that his spelling is very strong as a result of the Kumon method of learning word blends. My daughter absolutely loves math because I think Kumon has given her great confidence in her math capabilities and she often tells me she likes Kumon because she already knows how to do the math that is being taught in her classroom. It's a cycle - because she feels good at math and likes being ahead of the curve, she enjoys math more. Kerri O'Brien runs the center and is fantastic. She knows her students and is very on top of each student and what level they are at. She is available to meet anytime I have questions and she responds quickly to emails. The center is organized and run like a well-oiled machine. It's a calm environment for kids - not stressful at all. I should also mention that Kumon is great during the summer because it keeps your children from having the "summer slip" because they are doing their daily packets of work and keeping on top of their academic skills. I have been very pleased with my Kumon experience. I was hesitant to go down the Kumon road, but when I took my kids to be evaluated, they begged me to do it and have enjoyed it ever since. If ever there is a time when the packets of work are taking too long, I just asked Kerri to give less pages to my kids and that solves any problems of it ever feeling overwhelming to them. I would highly recommend this program and have seen the value in it!

I have worked at this center for two years (would have been longer but I had to move) and I can definitely say that I am impressed with the program. I truly believe in the program. It is personalized and flexible. I had seen students who HATED math begin to understand it, tolerate it, and even LOVE it. The program is flexible enough to accommodate students with learning and developmental disabilities. The main feature about this Mathnasium (and in Darien) that trumps all others is the amazing staff! David is the best employer I've ever had and probably ever will have. His manner of dealing with people is a rare find in today's cut-throat world. Barbara, Elizabeth and Evan were all amazing instructors and co-workers and truly made the center feel like a home away from home for the kids. I would say the biggest complaint we got from the students was that they didn't want to leave! I truly miss Mathnasium of Fairfield, the parents, the students, the atmosphere, everything! I can guarantee you, having seen it hundreds of times, if you bring your child here, they will become more confident, they will improve their math skill and you will find the best value for your money you can find.
