Overview
Founded in 1977 by Ray and Eileen Huntington, Huntington Learning Center offers individualized in-person and online tutoring programs for K-12 students nationwide. With approximately 300 locations across the country, Huntington’s business model is based on two key pillars: helping students achieve world-class results and maximizing franchisee profitability. Our dedication to these two areas is what has led Huntington Learning Center to its position as the top-performing franchise business in the tutoring industry. At Huntington Learning Center, our primary goal is to give every student the best education possible - and we’re proud to say that since 1977, we’ve helped over a million students gain the confidence and skills that they need to do well in school.
With just 50 hours of tutoring, our students show an average increase of over two grade levels in reading and math, and our test prep students see an average increase of 5.4 points on the ACT and 229 points on the SAT. Each of our students receives, on average, $71,000 worth of scholarship offers each year - that’s over $187 million in scholarship offers collectively.

History
Our founders pioneered the tutoring industry and created a business model that’s more relevant than ever before. In 1977, Eileen and Ray Huntington had a vision. They saw a need for individualized tutoring to help kids who were struggling and falling behind in school, and they wanted to create this tutoring environment in business and retail settings outside of the students’ homes. The idea of opening a business that moved reading and math tutoring away from the dining room table to a private setting was completely new, but they were undeterred in their goal to help students become better learners.
