History:
Huntington Learning Centers was started by Dr. Raymond J. Huntington and his wife, Eileen, in 1977. The company began franchising in 1985. Huntington Learning Center now operates nearly 300 centers nationwide. The company provides comprehensive support and technology to franchise owners and offers in-house financing. Franchise owners in turn deliver K-12 tutoring and test prep that enables students to achieve outstanding academic results. The 50% revenue leadership follows from this. No previous educational experience required to become an owner.
