The day we stop learning is the day we die, which is why so many ghosts try to sneak back into the realm of the living by enrolling in college courses. Breathe new life into your child's academic career with today's Groupon: for $99, you get an academic evaluation and tutoring package at Huntington Learning Center (up to a $611 total value). Choose from locations in North Dallas, Arlington, Coppell, Fort Worth, Mansfield, McKinney, and Plano. The package includes:

Founded in 1977, Huntington Learning Center employs a battalion of highly trained tutors who help students succeed both at school and in standardized testing. The academic evaluation, consisting of exams performed in a simulated classroom environment, yields a comprehensive collection of data that tutors use to design a custom learning program and a personalized, in-class obstacle course.

Tutors for children age 5–17 cover the academic gamut of reading, writing, mathematics, phonics, vocabulary, study skills, and elementary DNA manipulation. In addition, they'll delve into state-test and high-school-entrance-exam preparation, with one-on-one sessions designed for kids K–3, or four-to-one sessions designed for grades 4–12. For college-bound high schoolers, the individualized tutoring program begins with an actual SAT/PSAT or ACT exam under test-like conditions of foghorns and periodic dodge balls, and also includes prep in one-on-one sessions.

Although Huntington Learning Center sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
