Prior to co-founding Huntington Learning Center with his wife, Eileen, Ray served as a senior business analyst for a Fortune 100 company and as a college-level instructor in math and statistics. At the time the couple launched their new business, tutoring centers did not exist, and Ray brought his business acumen and vision to work making the dream to help students a reality and a thriving business. Sharing a strong desire to do something that is personally and professionally rewarding, the couple has seen their business grow from a single location to one of the nation’s leading tutoring services. Ray holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Manhattan College and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in statistics from Rutgers University.
Eileen founded Huntington Learning Center with her husband, Ray, in 1977. Prior to starting the company, Eileen was a junior high and high school teacher in New York City and New Jersey, where she witnessed struggling students firsthand. The idea for a tutoring center which offered individualized, supplemental instruction to students K-12 to help close the skill gaps was born. Forty years later, the company has grown to include 300 Huntington Learning Centers with locations in 41 states. Eileen is a graduate of Good Counsel College in New York, and has a master’s in library science from Rutgers University.
