Nodd's Review Hi, I am a big supporter of the Huntington Learning Center in Murray Hill. In fact, as a customer of theirs, I am writing this review from first hand experience. I can attest to the quality of the staff and the benefits of the Huntington teaching process. I can tell you that they will give your child their full attention from the first moment he or she walks through the door. And its not just their teaching acumen that is quite obvious even from casual conversation, its their ability to make both parent and child feel relaxed and at ease about the learning process. This gives parents reassurance and children confidence. Yes, this for me is key: that the child walks out of the learning center with more confidence than when he or she went in. Public schools teach our children as best they can and I know that at Nancy Ryles, Scholl's Heights and Hiteon elementary schools, the teachers are of the highest quality. But the fact remains, a public school's main focus is to teach to the group, not the individual. And as I am sure all parents can agree, our children are nothing but unique individuals, each with their own way of playing, talking, thinking and yes, learning. It just makes sense to give our children individualized learning attention. It helps kids that need help to catch up to their peers and it gives kids on the bell curve the ability to meet or even exceed their potential. Is it worth the cost? For me, that's a silly question! The Huntington Advantage Every year we help thousands of students improve their grades and raise their test scores, in addition to teaching them valuable study skills and improving their academic outlook. For us, individual attention and an unwavering focus on the needs of your child are the keys to helping students do better in school. It is the individualized program that makes the difference, as well as the commitment, caring, and positive reinforcement of each and every one of our staff. Right from the start, our staff works individually with your child to discover what is holding him or her back in school. By individually diagnosing what is keeping your child from doing his or her best, and creating a program of instruction tailor made to fit your child's needs, we are able to help students improve their academic performance, skills, confidence, and motivation. Our experience is that many students are locked into what we call the failure chain--a continuing cycle of frustration and failure. These students look at the learning experience as a threat rather than a challenge. Often they deal with this threat by daydreaming, acting out, or even tuning out. This behavior goes on in school and at home, affecting the whole family. At Huntington Learning Center, we break this failure chain by carefully building basic skills, boosting self-confidence, and restoring the motivation to succeed. |
