Huntington Learning Center of East Northport Earns 6th Straight Best Of LI Honor
The only locally accredited tutoring center on Long Island secures its sixth straight Best of LI award for academic excellence.

EAST NORTHPORT, NY — For the sixth consecutive year, Huntington Learning Center of East Northport has been named Best Learning Center on Long Island in the 2026 FourLeaf Best of Long Island Awards.
For many Long Island families, the recognition represents more than an annual accolade. It reflects the moment a struggling reader begins to devour books, a once math-averse middle schooler approaches equations with confidence, or a high school student raises SAT scores and gains admission to a dream college.
Each year, parents walk through the center’s doors concerned about slipping grades, lost motivation, or hard work that simply is not translating into results. What they discover, center officials say, is more than traditional tutoring. Certified teachers combine academic rigor with emotional support, recognizing that true growth happens when a student begins to believe in their own abilities.

Programs are fully individualized, beginning with comprehensive diagnostic evaluations that identify a student’s strengths and areas for improvement. From there, instructors develop customized learning plans with clear benchmarks and consistent progress updates, ensuring families remain informed and engaged throughout the process. Students routinely advance multiple grade levels in reading and mathematics, achieve measurable SAT and ACT score gains, strengthen study skills, and build lasting academic independence.
A distinguishing factor for the East Northport center is its accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the same independent organization that accredits local public schools. Since opening in 1996, the center has maintained ongoing accreditation standards focused on instructional quality, teacher expertise, operational integrity, and student outcomes.
