Huntington Learning Center

Benefit from Close to Five Decades of Proven Experience from the Tutoring Industry Pioneer

About Us

Founded in 1977 by Ray and Eileen Huntington, Huntington Learning Center offers individualized in-person and online tutoring programs for K-12 students nationwide. Our founders pioneered the tutoring industry and created a business model that’s more relevant than ever before. 

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. 

With proven results, Huntington continues to be a profitable business concept as more and more parents trust Huntington to help provide supplemental education to their children.

Why a Tutoring Franchise?

  • The tutoring industry shows no signs of slowing down. Already a $5 billion industry, the tutoring industry is projected to grow to nearly $16 billion by 2027 according to Grand View Research. 
  • As learning gaps broaden in the education sector, Huntington Learning Centers’ tutoring services will be more in-demand as parents need support in building their children’s confidence and skill sets in key subjects like math, writing, reading, and science.

How do I learn?

  • Dedicated business consultant devoted to your success. 
  • Technology – Our proprietary software gives you the ability to manage your center from anywhere in the world and tracks inquiries, student hours & progress, billing, payments, schedules, test results, prescriptions and more.

Training and Support

We help franchisees get off to a faster start to their business with our unique KickStart Marketing Program -- a robust three-month marketing package that includes Google Adwords and direct mail campaigns that new buyers fund upfront and the home office marketing team implements to help bring in leads and business in the early phase of your franchise. Huntington is an award-winning franchise that helps its franchise owners provide a valuable service to their community and build a successful business through world-class training and support.

Franchisee Initial Training (FIT) consists of three components, FIT-1, FIT-2, and FIT-3, each conducted over one week, Monday through Friday, of online, instructor-led training and 37 hours of online module meetings. FIT is geared toward helping the franchisee understand the Huntington franchise model and how to successfully operate and grow their business. Huntington Initial Training (HITP) consists of three components, HITP-1, HITP-2, and HITP-3, each about 40 hours over two weeks, plus video modules. HITP is designed to help franchisees and their staff implement the “Huntington System” of learning and deliver services to students. Staff members attend one or more of these HITPs, depending on job functions. For advanced training, the franchisor typically conducts regional meetings and a national convention, varying the cities in which it offers them. In addition, the franchisor typically conducts local area meetings at a participating franchisee’s premises. The franchisor occasionally offers other advanced training, such as multi-unit training.
