Huntington Learning Center Testimonials
Hans' Success Story
Hans's parents called the Lynbrook Huntington Center on the recommendation of friends in October 2008. They were moving and were very concerned about Hans's education since he was not only moving to a new neighborhood and a new school, but also had been classified as speech and language delayed. Homework with their third-grader was taking in excess of two hours each night. Since both parents were nurses, their shifts meant that many times they were unavailable to give Hans the extra academic sup...
Franklin's Success Story
Franklin's mother noticed that he was struggling to keep up with the rest of his fifth-grade peers when it came to reading and math, so she researched tutoring services and found Huntington and Sylvan. Franklin took an academic evaluation at both, and was given the opportunity to choose where he wanted to attend. Due to a positive testing experience at Huntington, the decision was an easy choice for Franklin. He picked Huntington. Franklin started instruction in January 2010. At the time, he wa...
Francesca's Success Story
Francesca was a child with no self-esteem, calling herself dumb and stupid. Her parents saw a Huntington commercial and decided to give us a try. Francesca came to Huntington in August 2011. It was very clear to our staff why Francesca had such confidence issues: school was too difficult for her. Francesca's parents saw the urgency of the situation and decided to enroll their daughter in our program immediately, attending eight hours a week. In a short amount of time, Francesa has completely tu...

Ethan attended Huntington for six months, and he showed improvements immediately. He went from the fourth percentile to the 88th Percentile on the comprehension section of the Cal...
Derrick's Success Story
When Derrick came to Huntington in Brick, NJ in September 2011, he was struggling in all of his subjects, especially in math, writing and study skills. Historically, in the beginning of the school year, Derrick's grades started as Bs; however, by the end of the year they dropped, in some cases as low as Ds. Although Derrick's mom and dad attributed it to laziness, his academic evaluation told a different story. The gaps in Derrick's basic skills were significant and his writing needed major impr...
Danny's Success Story
Danny first came to Huntington in Staten Island, NY as an elementary student, enrolled in the learning center program. He completed his program, his grades improved, and he left us as a successful Huntington alumnus. Fast forward to the spring semester of 2011. Danny was now a seventh-grader enrolled in a rigorous private school on Staten Island, and he was once again struggling. His parents were at their wits end, as Danny was failing math and was in danger of failing several other classes. It...
Danielle's Success Story
When Danielle first enrolled at Huntington in Eastchester, NY, she was very quiet and shy, but she was determined to get the grade she wanted. Her confidence was low and it came across in her work. Danielle was so depleted from others telling her she wasn't good at things that she held herself back. A self-starter, Danielle scheduled her own academic evaluation at Huntington, and thereafter she came to every session overly prepared. She wanted to get everything that she could out of each sessio...
Chris' Success Story
Chris came to Huntington in Carle Place, NY in the spring of his freshman year. He had been struggling in school since fourth grade due to learning disabilities and classifications. Chris had worked with private tutors and gotten homework help at school through his resource room and extra labs, but he was still failing and had no motivation for learning or school. The day of Chris's academic evaluation was very difficult. He yelled at his parents that he was not taking this "stupid, senseless e...
