Huntington does not publish prices. Each center sets its own rates, and you are quoted after your child sits an academic evaluation. This page gathers what centers and parent guides report, so you know the range before you walk in.
What Huntington actually charges
Personalized academic tutoring runs about $45 to $80 an hour, with a one-time initial assessment fee of $150 to $250 (tutors.com). One Huntington center publishes its own figure: specialized tutoring at $60 to $70 an hour, working one-to-one with a dedicated teacher (Huntington Elk Grove).
Other guides put the range slightly lower, at $40 to $75 an hour (wiingy.com). The spread across sources is itself the point: there is no national rate, and yours depends on your center.
What SAT and ACT prep costs
Test prep is sold as a package rather than by the hour. A 14-hour ACT or SAT course runs about $1,220 to $1,300 per subject, and a 32-hour course about $2,645 to $2,800 (tutors.com).
Divide the smaller package out (tutors.com) and you get roughly $87 an hour — meaningfully above the hourly tutoring rate at the same center. That is straightforward division rather than a quoted figure, but it is worth doing before you compare a package price against an hourly one, because they are not the same rate wearing different clothes.
Why the price isn't published
Huntington centers are independently operated and set rates locally, and the company's site offers personalized plans with pricing decided after an evaluation rather than a published schedule (brighterly.com).
The practical consequence is the same as at every learning center: the number appears at the end of an assessment, after your child has been evaluated and a recommended program has been described to you. It is a poor moment to do arithmetic, which is the argument for doing it beforehand.
What you get for it
Huntington's programs are one-to-one, a student with a dedicated teacher rather than an instructor rotating between several children (Huntington Elk Grove). That is a real difference from the small-group model used by some competitors, and it is a large part of what the higher hourly rate buys.
The trade-off is frequency. Centers commonly recommend one to three sessions a week, and the recommendation comes from the evaluation rather than from you. At three sessions a week, published ranges put the monthly figure at roughly $320 to $600 (brighterly.com), before the assessment fee.
What to ask before you sign
Five questions, all answerable at the evaluation:
- What is the hourly rate at this center, and what is the assessment fee? Both vary by location, so national ranges are only a sanity check.
- How many hours are you recommending, and over how many weeks? Multiply before you agree to anything.
- For test prep, what is the per-hour cost of the package? Compare it against the center's own hourly tutoring rate.
- Is every session one-to-one, and with the same teacher each time?
- What happens if we stop partway through a package, and what is refundable?
A center that answers all five without hesitation is one worth considering. The second question is the one that changes the total most.
If the hours are what you're paying for
Huntington's rate buys a qualified teacher's undivided attention for an hour, and for a student who needs someone sitting beside them, that is what it costs.
If what they need is more repetitions between those hours, that is a different purchase. Lernos is AI math and SAT practice your child can use free, as much as they want, with no end date. It works with students aged 13 and over. The parent view — which topics they've worked on, how their diagnostic came out, and where they're getting stuck — is $14.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.
It is not a teacher, and it isn't sold as one. But before committing to a 32-hour package, it is worth twenty minutes finding out which topics are actually the problem. The diagnostic is free.
