Thanks to wonderful stuff with Director of Huntington we were able to help my kids not fall behind and even get them where they should be in their grade level. Education is #1 for us, when kids understand math and are able to read with understanding they will succeed. My middle one is quite and shy and she is afraid to say in class I don't understand, and thanks to this tutorial classes she feels more confident then ever because she understands now. Sometimes kids do need 1:1, they feel more comfortable this way. My other 2 are doing great in school but I know they will benefit even more, so why not give them even more knowledge. Thank you Huntington stuff on working with my kids, giving them knowledge, confidence, and great achievements in school. Maggie B.

Beware of the discrepancy between the service/support expectations and the reality of your child's…read moreexperience! We signed our son up in June 2025 for tutoring due to the 1:1 support and personalized plan to close the gap in his skill set and bring him to grade level. The first few months operated as expected, but in early 2026 our son started coming home saying that tutors had not been getting paid and that most were planning to quit. At first I questioned the validity of those statements until I received a text from a tutor using my son's phone, while he was in a session I was paying for, to confirm what I was told was true. Following the exodus of tutors, we still sent our son because we had paid thousands of dollars for tutoring, but he continuously reported having the location manager manage 4-5 kids doing work independently, not instruction in a 1:1 setting. Sitting my son in a room for 2hr to do reading assignments does not meet the expectations laid out in our contract, nor does it warrant paying thousands of dollars. I contacted Emily, owner and manager of the location, requesting contract termination and a partial refund. She agreed to contract termination and said they do not give refunds, trying to claim we had used 180 hours in less than 9 months. I requested all supporting data for her claim three weeks ago and have not been able to get a response since. I highly discourage enrolling in this location. The mismanagement is apparent on multiple levels and our experience leaves us in a position where we feel like we have been scammed.

As a parent I loved that no worksheets came home, there is a flexible drop in schedule and the staff really likes and understands math and how to teach it to kids. And they really like kids too you can tell. The program is complimentary to the districts program and they reach out to the teacher to make sure they know what the kids are working on. My daughter likes it because she feels more confident in math and earns treats as rewards for work progression and A's on tests. We like it so much in fact that we will be placing our 1st grade there over the summer as well.
