Mom of an elementary student “Our son was moved to a higher reading group at school after working with the teachers at Huntington. We are very pleased!”

The Huntington Learning Center of Knoxville has been helping students for more than 25 years achieve their academic goals.

During this challenging time, Matthew & Krista McGrath and their dedicated teaching team are helping students navigate this different educational environment of hybrid, online and in person learning.

Huntington has the tools needed to help your child succeed in school this year.

Mom of a Middle school student “My son is able to use the skills he is learning at Huntington to apply to his classwork-including finding the main idea, and supporting ideas, improved use of vocabulary and grammar and handwriting.

He enjoys all the teachers he works with and they have a caring and patient approach with him.”
