Michael's Success Story
I can hardly describe how many ways Huntington in Manhasset, NY has helped me with school. Before I went to Huntington, I was barely passing. I was a D and F student. When my parents told me that I was going to have to go to Huntington, I'm not going to lie; I didn't have any intention of going or even doing the slightest bit of work. The first day I was there they made me take a four-hour test to see where I was in school. Needless to say, the test didn't go so smoothly. I was in ninth grade an...
Sean's Success Story
Sean first came to Huntington in Brick, NJ as an elementary student who was struggling. After Huntington helped him achieve academic success in third grade, his mom and dad knew that when Sean began struggling with geometry in ninth grade, Huntington was the place they would go for help. When his parents came into the center for a conference, Sean was on the brink of failing geometry. Having recently implemented a new subject tutoring curriculum, we began tutoring Sean in geometry, using his hig...
Tiffany's Success Story
Tiffany came to the Manhasset, NY Huntington in September 2010 as a kindergarten student. At the time that we met her, she had no sight words, poor letter recognition, no phonetic skills and was a non-reader. Her mom has a language barrier and needed help for her daughter and an advocate to help them to work with the school system. They found us through the principal at one of our local schools. Within the first month of attendance, Tiffany began to recognize sight words, sound out sentences an...
Syed's Success Story
My son has been attending Huntington of Englewood since December 2010. He has made great progress at school. His grades have improved and he is able to handle the work on his own. Syed has always had trouble with math and reading. On his last report card, he did great with English and for the first time in a very long time he received an average grade in math (he even got a 93 on one of his tests). This is coming from a student who had to attend summer school for math last summer because of all ...
Rome's Success Story
When Rome came to us in the fall of his kindergarten year, his parents had been told that he was going to be kicked out of school. Rome couldn't read or write and was below grade level in all of his subjects. According to his parents, Rome lacked confidence and fought with his mom every night about doing his homework. Rome's academic evaluation showed that he lacked basic listening skills and concepts necessary to perform in his classroom. He felt "dumb" in his class, and the teacher told his pa...
Quinn's Success Story
Quinn came to the Wayne, NJ Huntington in August 2011, as he was getting ready to enter the seventh grade. Comprehension was always a huge struggle for Quinn, and most tasks were extremely overwhelming for him. Quinn's parents were at their wits end, and said Huntington was their last hope. After walking out the door on his first day, Quinn made it a point to come back in to say, "Thank you, this is really going to help me!" After working with Huntington for the past five months, Quinn has alre...
Phillip's Success Story
Philip was a special-education student diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome whose teachers strongly believed he belonged in self-contained classes—and that he would never be able to catch up to the mainstream class. His parents brought Philip to the Scarsdale, NY Huntington when he was in third grade; they were very hesitant at first, since they didn't know anyone who had gone through our program before. Prior to the first Interim conference, we conducted a school visit and the teachers wer...
Matt's Success Story
In December 2010, Matt's grandfather came into the Middletown Huntington Center to inquire about tutoring for Matt, as he was having difficulty studying for his driver's test. Matt's grandfather said that Matt studied all the time, but nothing stuck, both for his driver's test and in school. To us, this sounded like Matt's challenge was study skills, so I set him up for an academic evaluation that would pinpoint where we could help him improve. During the evaluation we discovered that Matt's cha...
