Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of
that certain Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the registration of
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), of Learning Tree International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), issuable upon the exercise of options granted to certain employees
and others of the Company pursuant to the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan").  As such counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken in connection
with the Plan and proposed to be taken in connection with the sale and issuance
of the Common Stock pursuant thereto and such other matters and documents as we
have deemed necessary or relevant as a basis for this opinion.

     Based on these examinations, it is our opinion that such Common Stock, when
sold and issued in the manner referred to in the Registration Statement and the
Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We consent to the use of our opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.


                              Very truly yours,

                              /s/ GUTH ROTHMAN & CHRISTOPHER LLP
