I give Huntington Learning 5-stars! They did a great job with my son who needed some support after his daycare shut down. We found he needed some help to quickly prepare for Kindergarten and they are one of the few centers that can help in any area your child needs help with. Ms. Tracey, Adam Turner, Megan Miller and the entire team at Huntington Learning Center worked quickly to access his skills and helped us develop a personalized learning plan to catch him up. Thanks to their good work, he did really well his first year of school, thrived in a challenging virtual environment (despite the challenges of Covid) and I attribute much of his success to the good work of Huntington Learning Center. We appreciated their work so much we drove from Bristow, VA to their offices in Woodbridge, VA twice weekly.
My daughter has made big improvements in her reading and comprehension at Lake Ridge Huntington. She has increased confidence and therefore she is a lot more motivated in school. Everyone at the center has been communicative and responsive.
Both of my children have improved academically and socially. Its only been a few months but I can see their improvement. Their confidence has grown significantly. Thank you Megan, Adam and all the teachers who work so hard to help my children. You are great support especially in our current world situations. I recommend any parent to reach out to Huntington Learning Center.
My son has done very well with Lake Ridge Huntington and his grades reflect that. The Director is outstanding and so are the teachers. The center is also very flexible with scheduling - big, big plus.
Since I put him in Huntington his grades have gone way up. Without Huntington he would still be at about 3rd or 4th grade level. He is now in 6th grade and on 6 grade level. I am so proud of him. Thank you Huntington I can’t say enough.
My son had many problem. He was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, Auditory processing disorder and reading comprehension disorder. He was struggling in school even with IEP support. I tried many different tutoring places as well as private tutoring. He is 4th grade now, and I was already getting tired of looking for the place or person to help him raise his academic confidence. Slowly, over the years, I was losing my confidence to find the one until I found Huntington learning center in Lake Ridge. He has been taking this over three months now, with his problems, I never expected my son get better this quickly. Before he wasn’t able to retell any story he read even kindergarten level story, now he CAN. It’s amazing and miracle to see his improvement. Yes, it cost more money than any parents expected or any other places, but with confidence, it’s worth it. I read some bad reviews but I am glad I didn’t listen to them. Before I wasted so much money for something that never worked in my son. I was amazed by their detailed program. It is divided into easily understandable details and levels, now I know what his problems are and how it is improving every month by monthly meeting with director. I never seen any place like this. Their practice questions are so well made for each level specific to improve his needs that I wish I knew them when I was in school. I recommend this place to all my friend. Thank you Huntington for saving my son. Not only his writing and reading is better in school, but he finally enjoys reading everyday without me reminding him once to read. I got my life back, and most importantly, my son got his confidence back. I love you guys.
This learning center is one of the most unprofessional business I have deal with, not transparent, and not honest with the customer. I had business exchange with the Center Director from June 25 to July 1, 2019 and her performance as the leader was business unethical. Any parent that walks into a learning center is searching for help and willing to invest in their child education. As the director, those points are clear, but should not be taken as an opportunity for advantage. That is how I felt. I enrolled my daughter into the SAT/ACT program and paid $145 for a test assessment, $150 for registration fee, and $158 for two unsuccessful math tutoring hours. Yet, no successful tutoring or educational care for my child. First, during the test review the director failed to be truthful. At no time the director mentioned the math tutor assigned was a new tutor with no experience in teaching. I found out after two ineffective tutoring hours my daughter had. At the end of these bad tutoring, my daughter expressed to the director that she did not feel comfortable with the tutor and that she did not understand the tutor due to the tutor’s limited communication skills. The director’s reply was that a second session needed to go through before a change of tutors. Having heard that, I got involved. The director and I had an exchange conversation, and I was amazed how she expected me to believe that a brand-new tutor can teach math due to training and certification. Any professional in any subject knows that you do not earn experience via certification or training. In the contrary, time in the field is what makes you proficient. She finally stated that she was planning to have other experience tutor or herself over watch, yet this course of action was never mentioned during our original chat. As a result, I earned an extreme disappointment. Furthermore, she requested for me, the customer, be flexible and adjust to her schedule due to limited math tutoring in the center. It is assessed that there are more students than tutors available, or the tutor that knows how to teach math is overwhelm and works limited hours. The director also mentioned of having multiple tutors for my daughter or accept that the tutor hours original recommended were not going to be accomplish as promised prior to the SAT test. An unbelievable respond and completely unexpected. In the end, I cancel the program and wasted $453 with no successful tutoring. The money can be replace, but the experience is unavoidable. This circumstance could of be avoided if the director was honest and mention the gentle condition the learning center is experiencing. It would leave me, the customer, with a chance to make the final decision with all facts on the table.
My son was a solid D student in math and a struggling C student in English but with the help of the teachers over at Huntington hes improved and hes now a B student all the way around. They were patient and adjusted to his learning style.
I was a tutor at Huntington for several years. Parents pay outrageous tuition and tutors are paid next to nothing. Whats worse, now there are many, many tutors, including myself, who have put in 100s of hours tutoring students and we have not been paid. This is the most dishonest organization I have ever known. Please do not support Huntington in any way. The owners AND the management know their employees have not been paid and are doing nothing to help us recover the $$ that we are owed. How despicable to deny hard-working, low-paid tutors money. Most of us are teachers who are trying to boost our already low income. This organization robs teachers of their $$, stay far, far away....
This center is under new ownership/management since late 2016 and many positive changes have happened across the board.
We have been under new management for over two years now. The reviews listed here are under a former franchise owner. Please visit our Facebook and Yelp account for true reviews of how we have helped many students reach success at the Lake Ridge, VA location. We look forward to meeting with you and helping your child meet goals.
DONT EVER GO HERE! You will not get any support from these people. Theyre rude and unprofessional . I would not waste my time nor spend my money here again ! AND FIRE MS.AVA! Shes incredibly rude to me, and should learn respect while talking to a student!
Do not use any of the centers in Lake ridge, Stafford Fredericksburg or Warrenton. They are owned by the same person. If you look at the various county records. The owner Donna Isler has about 40 pending cases against her.
