Huntington Learning Center Employer Reviews

The days can be long but working with the children is great. I found the days to go really fast and not one day is exactly like the next. I was able to hold many different roles within the company.

Have been working here part time since graduation. To teach exam prep no teaching degree is required, which is nice and not like other learning centers. You do have to pass other standards however. The best part about working here is the students; helping the students succeed is always rewarding.

I have been able to enhance my teaching abilities by providing varied instruction according to each child's abilities and I have gained valuable experience conducting testing. I am able to interact with students one on one to provide a personalized experience for them and to better assist them with their work.

Managing and training teaching and clerical staff, school visits, marketing and sales, payroll, many parent conferences and student testing that went on everyday. Everyone that worked for me was terrific and worked as hard as I did that is why we had a wonderful team of employees. Most enjoyable part of this job was seeing the growth in knowledge in – more... the children and bringing them up to grade level and beyond. – less

Working with students is always a positive experience. The administrative side of this position is not as positive. Working with corporate headquarters can be challenging.

The position is a part-time position. A typical day at work is first finding out which student I'll be working with, tutor student for 2 hours(usually 1.5 hours of verbal and 30 minutes of bath although time varies based on individual needs of each student). The management team is a great team to work under and they manage the center very well. My co-wrkers – more... are a pleasure to work with and very helpful. The hardest part of the job is coming to work and if the student(s) I'm assigned to work with during my shift cancels, I will lose my hours. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with different students to help improve their academic status. – less

ENJOY WORKING WITH SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ASSISTING WITH LEARNING SKILLS TO ACHIEVE HIGHER GRADES IN SCHOOL. PERSONALLY REWARDING

As a tutor with Huntington Learning Center, you either work with one student (1-1) or with a group of up to 6 students (1-6). My responsibilities included keeping students individual binders updated, assisting with assignments/scoring and recording the scores in their binders, communicating with supervisors and parents, assisting students with their – more... assignments when necessary, advising students on various study skills and helpful knowledge, and helping students prepare for tests/quizzes.

I also worked with college bound students on preparing for their SAT. This was challenging and somewhat stressful because of the extreme importance of the SAT's. However, I was fulfilled in taking on this challenge and watching the students get good scores/results from our hardwork.

The staff and students at Huntington Learning Center were mostly pleasant, and I greatly enjoyed my experience working here. It was touching making a positive impact on the children, and seeing their self-esteem increase as their academic performance improved. – less

Let me begin by saying the only reason I left Huntington Learning Center was because I relocated to the Charlotte,North Carolina area.My schedule was very flexible. I was available to work anytime during the day,ranging from morning to night with small breaks in between(if needed). An individual session with a student ranged from 1 to 1/2-2 hours,sometimes – more... longer. My former management and co-workers were terrific. They were considerate and cooperative individuals who were easy to work with and for.The only hard part for ME was the distance, but the actual job itself made that quite tolerable.
I learned a great deal working with many diversified students,as well as colleagues.I feel my teaching skills/abilities/methods have improved greatly.I love to work with individual students/small groups and to see their academic improvement,in addition to their self confidence grow. – less

Loved my summer there...staff was kind and professional. The students and their families were a joy to be around.

The staff are very friendly from corporate office to each co-worker in each center. While the books and programs are scripted, there is room to be yourself and use your own motivational teaching skills, which seems to be rewarded. The only negative is it seems there are not a lot of hours available so part time maybe as low as 2 hours a week.

A typical day would start of with call backs to inquiries and schedule changes. Testing prospective students. Interviewing and training teachers, reprogramming curriculum for each student.

The fundamentals of the programs are sound and effective. In my four years there, I saw the programs benefit a multitude of kids. With effective teachers and proper training, students of all ages can benefit. For teachers, the part time job is an excellent addition to any full time position elsewhere. There is very little outside work and the work is – more... rewarding in many ways.
From my experience on the management side of the center, the focus tends to be much more on revenue than on the success of individual students. If a center puts the company's mission first (to provide the best education possible), then success can be achieved. Unfortunately, the focus rarely is on the mission. Instead it is on hard-line recruiting, often to the detriment of current students. I fought for the mission every day I was in my center, and eventually lost my job because I focused more on current students than on recruiting new students. The pay is poor, especially so in the center I was in. Management positions require employees to perform myriad responsibilities with little compensation and little thanks. I believe in the mission of the business, but have rarely seen it in action. – less

I prepare students to take the ACT test. I specifically tutor for the English and reading sections. I really enjoy working with the students and my coworkers. Since all of my coworkers and managers have teaching experience, we share great educational knowledge. The hardest part of the job is tailoring the curriculum to each student's needs. The most – more... enjoyable part is seeing student improvement throughout the tutoring session. – less

The coworkers are great and the kids that come through HLC are usually a pleasure to work with. Overall, it is a great side job and I really enjoyed my time there

Coached students in all age groups in addition to high school students taking the PSAT and SAT.

Friendly people, great kids. Flexible scheduling is very beneficial. Schedule isn't always reliable due to cancellations, but that isn't the fault of anyone running the center.

I loved working with kids there. The other teachers are great! But my biggest disappointment was the fact I did not get promised summer hours. I contacted the center on multiple occasions to fix it, they would always say there was a new person in charge of hours, and that they might have lost my availability information.

Mainly working around children. Good experience. Good practice of patience, and review of general education.

The program is designed individually for each child who comes through the doors. If the program is followed correctly, results are proven. The oldest and best supplemental education business around. I joined as a tutor. Over time they asked me to join as a full time staff member. As I learned the parts of the business, I was able to advance to Managing – more... Director. Although the title sounds nice, the position doesn't mean a whole lot in terms of compensation. All the teachers are great, very knowledgeable and enjoy working with the students. Anyone who is interested in helping out children in a part time job, this would be a great opportunity! – less
